LOOSE Women has been scrapped for four days this week as part of a schedule shake-up.

The female-led panel show will make way for coverage of horse racing at Cheltenham Festival between Tuesday and Friday.

The programme will air as usual today before it’s replaced later in the week.

The news is unlikely to go down well with Loose Women fans, who last week missed out on an episode after it was replaced for the Budget.

But the popular show is expected to return as normal on Monday March 18, once the racing has concluded.

Cheltenham Festival will see the finest National Hunt horses in Britain and Ireland take to the turf.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators will be in attendance for the most prestigious jumps meeting of the season.

Twenty-eight races will take place over the four-day horse racing spectacle, with each day having one 'featured race'.

The Champion Hurdle will be the one to watch on opening day, followed by the Queen Mother Champion Chase on Wednesday.

On the penultimate day of the festival, the Stayers’ Hurdle will be the featured race before the iconic Cheltenham Gold Cup captures the nation on the final day (Friday).
