In a surprising announcement, Lorraine Kelly revealed the resignation of her ITV co-star, Tyler West, during a live broadcast. The news left Lorraine visibly upset, stating, “I can’t bear it.” This heart-wrenching moment occurred on Thursday’s episode of the show, where Lorraine disclosed it was Tyler’s final day as the presenter of the entertainment news segment.
Tyler West’s New Role
Tyler West, 29, will take on a new position as the host of the KISS FM Breakfast Show. He will be accompanied by former Love Island contestant, Chloe Burrows. Lorraine expressed her emotions, mentioning that she would “miss” Tyler greatly. She wished him well, saying, “We have to say good luck to you because you are off to do an amazing show.”
Changes to ITV Daytime Schedule
- Good Morning Britain will extend its hours, running from 6 AM to 9:30 AM.
- Lorraine will air from 9:30 AM to 10 AM on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks each year.
- The show will be off-air for a portion of the year, with Good Morning Britain filling its time slot.
- This Morning remains in its established time of 10 AM to 12:30 PM.
- Loose Women will continue from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM on a seasonal basis.
These changes to the daytime schedule will be implemented starting in January 2026. Lorraine’s show is set to shift to shorter, 30-minute episodes.
Tribute to a Colleague and Friend
Lorraine’s resignation announcement comes in light of her recent personal loss. Just before Tyler’s departure, Lorraine had been replaced by Christine Lampard as host due to the passing of her father, John Kelly, at the age of 84. This tragic event occurred after he was found injured in East Kilbride because of an “ice fall tragedy” in sub-zero temperatures.
As Tyler sets out on his new adventure, Lorraine welcomes Vogue Williams as his replacement on the show. Vogue expressed her excitement about contributing to Lorraine every Wednesday as a new entertainment correspondent.
With these significant changes, both the show and its hosts are experiencing a new chapter. As Tyler moves onto KISS FM, Lorraine and her audience must adjust to the evolving landscape of ITV daytime programming.
