But it's a choice between (a) airing it with the competition intact and knowing this means that someone has to make sure a 'don't enter this' graphic is shown alongside it or (b) cutting the offending chunk out and not needing the extra graphic. It's more work than just slapping the episode up and leaving it to play either way so I would consider it logical to just cut that little segment out.

It's not though. If you edit out the competitions you change the length of the show and have to do a lot more 'behind the scenes stuff' - like editing the subtitles to match etc. You may then also have to check you aren't breaking a 'break restriction' by making the parts too short, or the show too short etc.
Pardon my ignorance but in a time when people are being encouraged to work from home, couldn’t programmes be edited from home?
Yes, many video editors work from home, it's not really different to do it from home as it is from an office. The only slight issue would be getting them onto a hard drive and getting them to the editor.
I suspect its more a matter of will and cost than feasibility

It’s also about having the producer there too - they would need someone remotely work with the editor. Then to get things signed off with bosses isn’t as simple as just wandering into the edit suite to watch.
The number of video editors with the right set up at home is very limited. What’s happening more is production houses using software to remotely work on existing edit suites.

That is true but for simple re-versioning that's not so much of a problem.

That reduces the issue of getting the media into the right place.
Though surely if they're working remotely into existing edit suites then they still need a lot of the hardware they'd need at work
ITV is being run on a skeleton staff. Its income has collapsed and it has furloughed many of its employees so is focusing its remaining resources on essential output. It is not going to retain an editor to cut the competition out of episodes of Loose Women.
The idea that most of the nation is sat at home getting on with their jobs using a laptop is just not the reality we're living in.
