ITV Daytimes leading ladies join together for International Womens Day portrait
If any team are well-placed to toast International Women’s Day on 5 March, it’s the women who present Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.
Ahead of IWD 2022, ITV has united 27 of its female stars for this stunning portrait.
This epic photograph, taken by Amy Brammall earlier this month, shows most of the ITV female daytime team together after almost two years of being apart.
These female hosts have been at the forefront of ITV's coverage of huge events, from royal weddings to royal babies, and celebrating epic moments – whether that's Team GB's sporting achievements at the Olympics or chatting to people who bathe in custard.
And of course, they meet the biggest stars on the planet, with a special nod going to Alison Hammond, who has made celebrity interviews very much her own.
She famously went viral with her hilarious interview with Harrison Ford and Ryan Gosling – which has had over 16 million views worldwide.
We caught up with Loose Woman panellist Katie Piper and asked why being on a show like Loose Women, where female panellists chat about topical events and share their own personal experiences – no matter how vulnerable it makes them – is so special.
She told OK!: “Sometimes as women, we can be self-deprecating about our achievements but the show empowers women for all that they are.”
Not only do they light up our mornings, these are women hitting other highs. Between them, they have an astonishing collection of achievements, including awards best-selling books and even honours from the Queen.
These 27 presenters have hit record numbers with a whooping 18 National Television Awards, five Royal Television Society Awards and four BAFTAs.
They've also written 63 best-selling books, have 20 million Instagram followers and while this number might be smaller, they've also managed one (seriously impressive!) waterski of the English Channel. Well done, Christine!

And it doesn't stop there, these 27 women have also clocked up 45 million album sales, six honorary degrees, one chancellorship and three university fellowships.
When it comes to Royal honours, they have two CBEs, two OBEs and one MBE – with Kate Garraway most recently being made an MBE in recognition of her 32-year broadcast career in the New Year’s Honours List in 2021.
