Kate Garraway admits ‘we're not allowed to' as she details ITV rules
Kate Garraway detailed some behind-the-scenes rules ITV stars have to adhere to during Monday's instalment of Good Morning Britain.
On the programme, the ITV star, who recently recalled her experience with theft in London, was speaking to Louie Spence about his appearance on Celebrity SAS.
Although the series kicked off over the weekend, Channel 4 viewers saw Louie decide to leave after one episode, as he detailed his reasons to Kate and her co-star Ed Balls.
However, as the interview began to end, Louie couldn't help but ask Kate a question. He commented: "Kate, can I just say darling, why haven't you done a hair commercial?! Every morning, I watch you and think she's worth it."
Kate instantly burst out laughing over Louie's remark before sharing the reason she's not been seen advertising hair products.
She replied: "Can I tell you what, Louie, we're not allowed to. I work in news, and we are religiously, despite what people think, impartial. So we don't endorse anything."
It seemed as though Louie wasn't satisfied with her response, so he took a moment to take a cheeky swipe at ITV.
He said: "How dare they?! What's going on? They're cutting Lorraine, the Loose Women are being cut. What's going on? This place is going to wreck and ruin."
Although both Ed and Kate ignored his reference to the ITV cuts, she added: "When they fire me, Louie, which is probably right now for talking too much, I'll go and do one!"
Louie's comments come after it was announced earlier this year that ITV will be facing some major changes to its daytime programmes from 2026.
Lorraine is having her show cut down to 30 minutes and will now air for 30 weeks annually, similar to Loose Women.
During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will broadcast until 10am.
Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV's media and entertainment division, commented on the adjustments, saying: "Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust, as well as generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres.

ITV confirms Big Brother 2025 start date and 'new look' for show
Big Brother UK will return later this year and fans should gear up for the show having a completely new look It's been a whirlwind few hours following the Love Island final, and the excitement doesn't stop there. ITV has now confirmed the return of Big Brother later this year, with a brand new look for the 2025 show. The upcoming series, which has been confirmed by the broadcaster to air in September, will mark its third instalment after having switched from Channel 4 back in 2000. A fresh batch of contestants will enter the house, under Big Brother 's watchful eye. Presenters AJ Odudu and Will Best will return to screens, with the show tipped to offer fresh twists, elaborate challenges, intense nominations and live evictions, as the housemates compete for the all-important cash prize. ITV shared some exciting teasers for fans of the popular reality show during the ad break for Love Island, including images of the revamped colourful eye logo, suggesting that the wheels are already in motion. One of the most exciting parts of Big Brother for fans is the big house reveal, which always switches up theme every year in a bold and stirking new design, so we will need to keep our eyes peeled for those updates. Meanwhile, Big Brother Late and Live is also set to return, offering an additional serving of exclusive Big Brother content, including heated discussions and hot takes from the celebrity guest panel. And those who like to indulge in 24/7 action will be glad to know that the Live Stream will also return, airing seven nights a week exclusively on ITVX, following the extra drama and gossip of Big Brother Late and Live. While the exact premiere date for the new series remains unconfirmed, it's believed to launch either on Sunday, September 28 or Monday, September 29. The 2024 series crowned Ali Bromley as the champion, securing a staggering 52 per cent of the final vote. The latest Celebrity Big Brother series also captivated audiences worldwide when it aired earlier this year with a string of well-known faces. Coronation Street's Jack P Shepherd clinched the title just months ahead of his wedding to Hanni Treweek. However, the spotlight of that series was firmly on Love Island contestant Chris Hughes and singer JoJo Siwa. The pair formed a close bond during their time in the house, although they maintained it was purely platonic. After leaving the show, former Dance Moms star JoJo ended her relationship with Kath Ebbs and soon after went public with Chris. Romantic sparks are not uncommon among housemates, with Jordan Sangha and Henry Southan also striking up romance during the 2023 series. However, the pair announced their surprising separation in April. There's no doubt eagle-eyed fans will be on the lookout for yet more romance as the 2025 series returns later this year.

Lisa Faulkner teases secret filming project after ITV stood by her husband John Torode following his BBC axing
Lisa Faulkner has teased her secret filming project after she returned to work following her husband John Torode 's BBC axing scandal. Her husband John, 60, was fired from MasterChef after 20 years following an allegation of racism last month, after he revealed he was the subject of a claim that was upheld as part of an inquiry into his co-star Gregg Wallace. While she did not confirm which show she was working on, Lisa, 53, posted a glamorous selfie following a mystery shoot. She wrote: 'Thought I would share a pic of today's shoot. Was so lovely to see my @justwade makeup and the brilliant @lill_lis cooking and chatting and filming with the loveliest team ♥️' Lisa shared a picture from the back of a car on Monday morning and said she was heading to work. She co-hosts the ITV show John & Lisa's Weekend Kitchen with her husband as well as working as a contributor on Lorraine. Following John's unceremonious departure from the broadcaster, Daily Mail revealed that ITV, where John also fronts TV shows, were backing him. Sources at ITV recently told us that it will continue to broadcast the tenth series of John and Lisa's Weekend Kitchen rather than pulling it from the schedule. The much-loved cookery show, which launched in 2019, features Lisa and John as they showcase their favourite recipes. An ITV source said: 'There is no change to the ITV schedule and John and Lisa's Weekends will be broadcast as usual and will continue to air for the next three weeks.' There are also plans for the broadcaster to welcome John back later in the year with John & Lisa's Christmas Kitchen in December. The Australian chef was dramatically axed from MasterChef - hours after the BBC's director general refused to back him over an allegation of racism. The corporation said the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming the show. The complaint against John was revealed in the report into co-presenter Gregg's inappropriate behaviour. ITV are standing by under fire John, despite his BBC axing from MasterChef following an allegation of racism (pictured together in 2024) Gregg, 60, was sacked after dozens of complaints against him were upheld. Last month, John identified himself on as an unnamed person in the report who was accused of using 'racist language'. However, the presenter said 'he had absolutely no recollection' of the incident and did 'not believe that it happened'. But in a statement, the BBC said: 'This allegation - which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace - was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by the law firm Lewis Silkin. 'The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously. 'We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.' Hours before the announcement, BBC director general Tim Davie had refused to back John and said he expected 'action to be taken' over the allegation. He delivered the remarks as the BBC released its annual report - an occasion overshadowed by controversies for the second year in a row. Last year's was published amid the fallout over news presenter Huw Edwards who pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children. Asked about the John racism row, Tim Davie said: 'The BBC in some ways are quite simple on this - if someone is found to not live up to our values we expect the independent company, Banijay in this case, to take action and report back to us on what they have done. 'These are not BBC employees, but we absolutely expect action to be taken.' Tim added: 'I think a great programme that's loved by audiences is much bigger than individuals. It absolutely can survive and prosper, but we've got to make ing drinks sure we're in the right place in ness terms of the culture of the show.' It had been alleged by a source close to John that he had used an inappropriate racial term during drinks after filming. The witness claimed he had apologised immediately and 'was mortified' and he 'didn't use the term as a slur'. No one complained at the time but the incident was brought up during the inquiry into Gregg, they said. Responding to his sacking, John said: 'I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few says seem to have prevented that.' He said he 'had loved every minute' working on the show but it was 'time to pass the cutlery to someone else'. 'Life is everchanging and ever moving and sometimes personal happiness and fulfilment lay elsewhere,' he added.
