Four out of five shows have been cancelled next week in favour of coverage of the Cheltenham Festival, which will be shown from Tuesday March 15 until Friday March 18.
This Morning fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the magazine show, hosted by Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, will finish at its usual time of 12:30pm and will be followed by half an hour of news coverage until 1pm. ITV will then switch to coverage of one of the biggest events in the horse racing calendar, which will run until 4:30pm each day.

Loose Women fans shouldn't despair too much as the beloved chat show will only be off air for four days and will return to the channel the following week, starting on Monday March 22.
The schedule switch-up comes amid rumours that there have been behind-the-scenes feuds on the set of the ITV show. Addressing the speculation in a recent interview with The Mirror, panellist Jane Moore said: "I have an issue when people say, 'Jane Moore and Nadia Sawalha cat fight on Loose Women'. Please, come on, we’re past that. They never do it about two blokes on a news programme and it’s so lame.
"Let’s move on, we’re not in the 1950s anymore. But we take it in our stride and get on with it."
