Tensions are said to be rising at ITV daytime's new studio over its lack of space - leading to stars having to share toilets and dressing rooms.

Last month, in a series of cost cutting measures that saw approximately 200 staff axed, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women all relocated to a smaller, underground studio in Covent Garden in central London.

With all three programmes now sharing a single studio, it's resulted in Loose Women losing its live studio audience.

However, it's now been reported that stars such as Cat Deeley, Ben Shephard, Dermot O'Leary, Alison Hammond, Ruth Langsford and Kaye Adams are all being forced to share dressing rooms and use communal toilets.

An insider claims Lorraine Kelly, 66, is the only star to have her own personal loo inside her dressing room.

They told The Sun: 'There have been quite a lot of issues since the team's relocation to the new smaller studios. 

'As well as the cramped space, presenters have had to give up their personal dressing rooms and loos. Lorraine is the only one who has her own private throne.

'But even she has to share it, with guests frequently popping in.'

They added that recently Christine Lampard was forced to change in a meeting room and the lift has been breaking down. 

Daily Mail has contacted ITV. 

A spokesperson said: 'ITV daytime have been at the new state-of-the-art multi-storey studios for over a month now and have adapted to the new surroundings successfully.

'The new space and look is on the back of an increase in audience share year on year and digital output achieving almost 50 million views a month.

'There is a positive vibe across all three of the shows.'

Good Morning Britain was also relocated out of Television Centre to ITN's headquarters where it now shares a studio with ITV News.

One of its stars, Ranvir Singh, recently opened up on the changes, branding the show as 'splintered' following an exodus of staff.

She told The Express: 'I have to say, whatever you do personally in your career doesn't really equate to the difficulties that colleagues of mine behind the scenes have clearly felt. 

'I have said a fond farewell to lots of people I've worked with for over ten years, who have got up at the crack of dawn and worked in all the different departments.

'A lot of those have stayed, because we're still doing really well, the figures are great for Good Morning Britain and we're doing well, but it has been a big change.

'Nothing you do personally, obviously, that's great, but you still miss the people that you have loved working with for over a decade on breakfast television.

'I'm still in touch with a lot of them, and we chat and message.'
