Why is This Morning not on today? ITV show taken off air and replaced

This Morning has been removed from the ITV schedule today. Those hoping to tune into the daytime show on Tuesday, October 25 will instead be met by an ITV News special.

The popular programme, which is presented by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, usually airs Monday through to Friday between 10am and 12:30pm, following ITV's Lorraine. However, a schedule shake-up means This Morning won't be on screens as usual today.

An ITV News Special will now air in This Morning's usual slot between 10am and 12:30pm, presented by Tom Bradby. It comes as Rishi Sunak is set to officially become the country's new Prime Minister.

The rest of ITV's schedule appears unaffected, however, with Loose Women set to air as normal at 12:30pm, followed by gameshows Riddiculous, Tipping Point, and The Chase from 3pm.

A post on This Morning's Facebook page read: "This Morning will be off-air today due to ITV’s news coverage of the new Prime Minister, but we'll be back tomorrow from 10am!""

Holly and Phillip have only been back on air for a day after taking a break over the half-term last week. The pair were replaced by Dermot O'Leary and Alison Hammond during their absence.

Last night the presenting duo attended the Pride of Britain Awards. The heartwarming event took place at Grosvenor House, London on Monday, October 24 and will air on television screens on Thursday, October 27.

This Morning continues as normal on Wednesday, October 26. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
