In ITV's halls, a decision fell,
Cuts to shows, and jobs to sell,
Nadia Sawalha spoke out with tears,
Of friends and colleagues through the years.
Behind the scenes, a team did toil,
Supporting shows, with hearts and soil,
The cuts were brutal, out of the blue,
Leaving hundreds with nothing to do.
She spoke of friends who'd worked with care,
For decades, with dedication rare,
Their jobs at risk, with no clear fate,
A future uncertain, a worrying state.
The pool of panellists might be small,
Nadia's spot, not guaranteed at all,
She could be let go, tomorrow or five,
A constant fear, that she can't deny.
ITV's boss, Kevin Lygo did say,
Daytime's important, in a major way,
But cuts had to be made, with inflation high,
A difficult choice, with a sorrowful sigh.
Nadia's emotional, with a heavy heart,
For friends and colleagues, torn apart,
The army of people, behind the scenes,
Working hard, with dedication's sheens.
She speaks of self-employment's plight,
A constant worry, day and night,
A contract's end, a future unsure,
A life of uncertainty, a heavy lure.
The changes come, with a new schedule tight,
Loose Women reduced, to 30 weeks in sight,
Lorraine's show, cut to 30 minutes short,
A new era dawns, with a different report.
