Sawalha criticises cuts

LOOSE Women star Nadia Sawalha has criticised cuts to ITV daytime's schedule, saying they have been "absolutely brutal" to production staff and came "out of the blue".

The changes are expected to cause job losses across ITV's morning offering including This Morning, Lorraine and Loose Women, which will be broadcast from a new location in central London while still being produced by ITV Studios.

Good Morning Britain is to be extended by half an hour from January, while Lorraine Kelly's morning talk show will be reduced to 30 minutes for 30 weeks of the year, ITV said earlier this month.
