ITV show This Morning has been taken off air until Friday (November 25) to make way for coverage of the 2022 Fifa World Cup. Other popular ITV shows such as Loose Women and Lorraine are also taking a short break from schedules for the tournament in Qatar.

Currently, there are four games per day in the World Cup. The kick off times for these games are 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm. ITV are covering at least two of these a day, which is causing some shows to be briefly taken off air.
