GOOD Morning Britain was pulled off air early today as part of a huge ITV schedule shake-up.

The popular show, hosted by Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard,was cut short on Monday for the FIFA Women's World Cup, which continues this week.

Rather than their three hour daily dose of morning news and debate, ITV viewers were greeted with Japan versus Spain.

To make matters worse, ITV's This Morning will be delayed today, while topical show Lorraine has been binned entirely.

This Morning, which usually starts at 10am, will be delayed by 15 minutes to make way for the football.

Although many fans were happy with the change, some expressed their disappointment.

Another added: "I can understand peoples anger at Good Morning Britain being cut short for the Women's World cup."
