Loose Women cancelled next week amid schedule shake-up for Cheltenham Festival 2022
LOOSE Women has been cancelled next week in an ITV schedule shake-up for the Cheltenham Festival.
The daytime show will air in its usual slot on Monday before making way for the major horse racing event for the rest of the week.
The Festival is the first event in a bumper run of sport that has seen some major show need to be rescheduled.
Next weekend’s Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway and the Starstruck final have both been postponed to make way for a rugby double-header.
Ireland will take on Scotland from 4.45pm on March 19 before France and England go head to head at 8pm.
It means fans of the entertainment shows will have to wait another week for their fill.

The bumper sporting weekend also sees the Dancing On Ice final disrupted on Sunday, March 20 as it makes way for the FA Cup quarter final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest.
All three ITV shows have proved immensely popular this year with Ant & Dec on sparkling form, Dancing On Ice having arguably its strongest performances ever and Starstruck emerging as Saturday night TV gold.
On Sunday Paralympian Stef Reid was eliminated from Dancing On Ice in a skate-off with BMXer Kye Whyte ahead of the semi-final.
The judging panel admitted that any other year both pairings would have sailed into the final.
