Loose Women had an unexpected early finish on Friday, wrapping up 30 minutes ahead of its usual slot.
The popular ITV chat show concluded at 12:55pm instead of the regular 1:30pm end time.
Kaye Adams, the show’s host, addressed the change in schedule, commenting: “Hardly any time today because of the racing, we’ve got a great line-up next week though!”
She went on to tease appearances from Reverend Richard Coles and GK Barry, fresh from their jungle stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The alteration in Friday’s TV timetable saw Loose Women cut short, followed by the ITV Lunchtime News at 1pm, then ITV News at 1:20pm, with ITV Racing: Live From Cheltenham taking the stage at 1:30pm until 4pm, before Deal Or No Deal comes into play.
It comes as Loose Women star Coleen Nolan revealed she is ‘booking a day of crying’. The revelation came during Thursday’s show where the panel discussed places they go to cry, reports the Mirror.
It comes as Coleen recently split with her partner of three years as she embraces single life on her new farm.
Talking to her fellow panellists on Thursday’s show about allowing yourself to cry, Coleen said: “I’m terrible for it, I hold it in and it will be a moment that I’m not expecting it and it won’t be over anything that I thought I was going to cry about.
“It’ll be something like I dropped a cup on the floor and all of a sudden it will just come and I’ll think: ‘I’m not even bothered about the cup!'”
She added: “I’m booking a day of crying, I’ve told my children, it’s in the diary, they’re getting locked out. Go wherever you want, I’m going to lock my front door and I’m just going to cry all day.”
Coleen continued: “I need [to do it], it is my own therapy, I know I need to do it as I’ve been holding a lot in. The thing with me, and my fear is, if I start I won’t stop as it’s not over one thing, it’s over everything I’ve ever held in.
“So it’ll be my sister being sick, it’ll be over losing Bernie, and then it will be over things that are happening now. It all then comes out and my problem is, I get to a point, whenever I do cry, I instantly try and stop myself crying as if I don’t stop myself, I’m not going to stop, then it wears me out, I’m so worn out by the end of it.
“If I’m going to do it, I know I need to be on my own so I don’t feel I have to stop because there’s people there and also then I’ve got the rest of the day to get over it.”
It comes as Coleen recently parted ways with Michael Jones, citing her busy lifestyle as the reason as she juggles work with settling into her new home.
Loose Women continues on weekdays at 12:30pm on both ITV and ITV X.
