The Morning Show Makeover: Tyler West Bids Farewell to Lorraine Kelly
The iconic ITV morning show Lorraine is undergoing a significant transformation as beloved presenter Lorraine Kelly bids farewell to a long-time colleague, Tyler West. The announcement came during the show's Thursday episode on January 22, leaving viewers emotional as they prepare for a new era.
West, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant and Celebrity Race Across The World star, has been a fixture on the show as its entertainment reporter. However, his recent decision to join KISS FM's new breakfast show alongside Love Island alum Chloe Burrows has led to his departure from the morning chat show. This move means he will no longer be able to appear on Lorraine during weekday mornings.
During Tyler's final bulletin, Lorraine expressed her sadness and admiration for West's new venture. She exclaimed, 'I can’t bear it! It’s just awful because we will miss you so much. But we wish you all the best, you are going to smash it! KISS FM are very lucky to have you, I’ll tell you that!'
West, who has been a presenter on KISS FM for the past seven years, is now stepping into the coveted breakfast slot. He shared his excitement about the new role, stating, 'Taking over from my boys Jordan and Perri is huge… but trust me I'm ready to bring it! It's time for big laughs and bigger tunes. KISS is where home is – this is your new breakfast show where the door is always open. It's gonna be carnage!' The new breakfast show is set to begin in February.
As for Lorraine, the replacement for West's entertainment reporting role has already been announced. Vogue Williams, fresh off her I’m A Celebrity jungle experience, will join the ITV morning show to bring the latest updates from the showbiz world. This transition marks a new chapter for the iconic morning show, leaving fans eager to see how it evolves under the new talent.
