Why Loose Women is not on TV as ITV cancels all of this week's shows

Loose Women has had a firm hold on the British public since the daytime TV show first aired nearly 23 years ago. This means that, whenever the chat show is cancelled, disappointment often ensues.

And unfortunately, this week, the daytime favourite has been pulled off air. Yesterday's episode (March 14) was the first and last show of the week, with the panellists not making a return for quite some time. Usually airing between 12.30pm and 1.30pm from Monday to Friday, Loose Women has been axed to make space for ITV's coverage of Cheltenham Festival.

The Gloucestershire festival gets underway today, March 15, and will run until Friday, March 18. ITV will be broadcasting the 162-year-old festival live between 12:50pm and 4:30pm, meaning coverage starts 20 minutes after Loose Women usually airs.
