ITV has been forced to put nine of its top shows on hold in a bid to save new episodes, as budget cuts continue to hit the channel.
Shows such as The 1% Club, The Chase and Long Lost Family have been barred from filming new episodes, with bosses swapping them out for repeats in the schedules.
Some shows are projected to return to screens later this year, but others aren’t expected to be back until 2027.
ITV has already been hit by huge cuts which forced filming for daytime shows Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women to be relocated.
