Lorraine Kelly's Emotional Farewell: ITV Star's Departure Leaves Co-Host Heartbroken
Lorraine Kelly, the beloved ITV daytime star, has announced her departure from the hit morning show, leaving her co-host, Lorraine, devastated. In a heart-wrenching moment, Kelly shared the news live on air, expressing her sorrow with the words, 'I can't bear it.'
But here's where it gets personal... The emotional revelation came as Kelly closed Thursday's episode of her show, revealing that it was Tyler West's final day presenting the entertainment news segment. West, the new KISS FM Breakfast host, will be unable to continue his role on the show due to his new commitments.
And this is the part that tugs at the heartstrings... Kelly, visibly upset, admitted she 'couldn't bear' to say goodbye to West and would miss him dearly. The Celeb Race Across The World star, however, promised to return, offering a glimmer of hope to the tearful host.
As if the drama wasn't enough, there's a twist! We've learned that Vogue Williams, the I'm A Celeb star, will step into West's shoes. Williams shared her excitement on her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, stating, 'I am going to be reporting the entertainment on Lorraine every Wednesday.'
But wait, there's more! The show's schedule is also undergoing significant changes. From January 2026, Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes, running until 9:30 am daily. Lorraine will then air from 9:30 am to 10 am for 30 weeks of the year. During the remaining weeks, Good Morning Britain will fill the slot until 10 am. This Morning and Loose Women will retain their current time slots throughout the year.
Now, here's where it gets controversial... The Lorraine show itself is going through a major transformation. It has been reduced to 30-minute episodes and will only air seasonally. Adding to the drama, Christine Lampard recently replaced Lorraine Kelly as host, following Kelly's father's tragic death.
