ITV Daytime Star Departs Hit Morning Show, Leaving Lorraine Devastated
Lorraine Kelly, the beloved host of ITV’s daytime show, was visibly shaken after announcing a significant change in her show’s lineup. During the Thursday episode of her program, she shared the emotional news that fellow presenter Tyler West would be leaving his role as the entertainment segment host.
Tyler West’s Departure from Lorraine
Tyler West’s last day on Lorraine was filled with sentiment. Lorraine expressed that breaking the news was particularly challenging for her. At 66 years old, the Scottish broadcaster admitted, “I can’t bear it” and emphasized how much she would miss Tyler.
- Tyler West: 29 years old, departing to host KISS FM Breakfast.
- Vogue Williams: Set to replace Tyler as the entertainment reporter on Lorraine.
- New KISS FM Breakfast Show: Debuting alongside former Love Island contestant Chloe Burrows.
After Kelly’s heartfelt announcement, she wished Tyler good luck with his new position. She described his new show as “amazing” and expressed confidence that he would excel in this new role.
Changes in ITV’s Daytime Programming
With Tyler’s exit comes a broader reshaping of ITV’s daytime schedule. From January 2026, Lorraine will air just 30-minute episodes on a seasonal basis, running for 30 weeks a year. The weekday programming includes:
| Show | Time |
|---|---|
| Good Morning Britain | 6:00 AM – 9:30 AM |
| Lorraine | 9:30 AM – 10:00 AM |
| This Morning | 10:00 AM – 12:30 PM |
| Loose Women | 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM |
The adjustments come following a difficult period for Lorraine, as she recently dealt with the passing of her father, John Kelly.
Conclusion
Tyler West’s departure is a significant moment for the Lorraine show, marking the end of an era. The changes in the ITV daytime lineup reflect not only shifts in personnel but also an evolution in content as the network prepares for 2026.
