24 Jun
Summary
- Lorraine Kelly's TV show schedule reduced from 52 to 30 weeks.
- This change allowed more time for writing her new book, 'The Island Secret'.
- Saying goodbye to colleagues during the transition was difficult for Kelly.
Television personality Lorraine Kelly has opened up about the impact of her programme's reduced broadcasting schedule. Earlier in 2026, her ITV daytime show's run was cut from 52 weeks to 30 weeks annually. This adjustment, while granting more personal time, involved difficult goodbyes to her colleagues and production team.
Kelly confessed that the initial transition was challenging, but she has since embraced the new rhythm. The reduced schedule allows for significant breaks, which she has used to focus on her writing career. Her latest novel, 'The Island Secret', follows her debut fiction work, 'The Island Swimmer'.
She revealed that the change also provides more opportunities for quality time with her granddaughter, Billie. Kelly also shared that she has found more patience in her later years, enjoying quiet moments with loved ones and nature. This new chapter allows her to balance her television commitments with her thriving writing career.
