Moving to a New Studio
In April 2018, Lorraine moved to a new studio. It moved to BBC Studioworks' Television Centre. This move happened because the old studio, The London Studios, was going to be redeveloped. In October 2018, it was decided that ITV would not return to the old location.
New Time Slot in 2020
On 6 January 2020, the show changed its time. It now airs from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This change meant that Good Morning Britain and This Morning were both made 30 minutes longer.
