This Morning cancelled for Rishi Sunak ITV News special
The daytime juggernaut has been ditched amid fresh political changes.
This Morning has been pulled from the TV schedule today in favour of an ITV News special covering the latest prime ministerial shake-up.
The replacement programme will air the final speech from outgoing PM Liz Truss, expected at around 10:15am, as well as Rishi Sunak's first speech as Prime Minister outside 10 Downing Street at 11:35am.
The former Chancellor is meeting with King Charles this morning where he will be invited to form a new government, following his victory in the Conservative leadership election yesterday.
Following his vote, Sunak outlined his aim to unite the fractured party and guide the UK through tumultuous economic times, although it remains to be seen whether he will enjoy the full support of Tory MPs in the Commons.
