During the latest instalment of the ITV show, which recently saw Denise Welch issue an apology on air, the presenters were detailing the latest headlines before welcoming their guest, Jojo Siwa, onto the panel.

However, before then, the live audience and viewers at home were told about the latest competition as comedian Lee Peart made his way into the studio.

Being given a huge round of applause, he commented: "I'm sorry to interrupt but I've got a tyhree part prize to give away! Now, fingers crossed it may put a smile on Janet's face!"

After sharing what people have the opportunity to try and win, Lee added: "Lines close on Friday and I will saw, this is actually the last Loose Women of the week, so get your entry in if you want to do that!"

According to the ITV schedule, a repeated episode of James Martin's Great British Adventure will air once This Morning has finished at 12:30, taking over Loose Women's usual spot.

After the ITV news airs, the racing will air live from York from 1:30pm until 4:30pm.

It's not been said why Loose Women won't air before the races begin, however, it comes ahead of major changes being made in 2026.

From next year, the ITV show will only air for 30 weeks from 52, meaning there will be a period of time where it won't be broadcast.

TV star Nadia Sawalha took to social media to share her outrage at the cuts as she commented: "I am totally devastated by this fact, I can't get over it at all.

"Not only because the audience is so important for the show, but also my dear friend Lee who I work with every day."
