ITV’s Daytime shows have announced, as previously revealed by TV Zone, that for a fifth year running, Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning will broadcast Christmas Day specials, from 7am on ITV1 and ITVX. 

Keeping viewers company in the run up to the new year, all four award-winning Daytime shows - including Loose Women - will also air on Monday 30th and Tuesday 31st December, from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX. 

Emma Gormley, Managing Director of ITV Daytime said: “For the fifth year running, we’re delighted to share our festive scheduling - including the return of Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning on Christmas Day, plus Loose Women in the run up to the new year.

"The countdown to Christmas has started and we’re all looking forward to sharing the magic of this time of year with those at home as the decorations go up in the studios too!” 

At 12pm on 25th December, James Martin will also spend the afternoon with Lorraine Kelly, Marti Pellow, Craig David and Luke Evans down in Hampshire from mid-day, where together, with Michelin-starred chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen and baker Richard Bertinet, James will serve up the perfect festive feast, ahead of a special performance from Marti Pellow at the end of James Martin’s Christmas Day special. 

Ainsley’s Festive Flavours returns to ITV1 from 2pm on Christmas Day and is set to be a real cracker. A sparkling guest list, including Brian Conley, Katherine Ryan, Olly Smith and Rosemary Shrager, will join Ainsley Harriott in the kitchen to help him cook up a spread guaranteed to share some festive cheer.
