Strictly Come Dancing is airing a tribute to the late Caroline Flack on Saturday’s Best of The Final show, and some of the touching video was played on Lorraine on Friday.
The last seven minutes are devoted to 2014 winner Caroline, who took her own life in February.
Lorraine, who was speaking to Ria Hebden, said: "Now, Strictly, there is a big celebration of Strictly tomorrow, and a big tribute to Caroline Flack as well?"
Ria replied: "Yes, they are doing a big tribute to Caroline, she picked up the Glitterball back in 2014, and she is very missed by everybody.
"Over the weeks they've done Best Of episodes, so here is the lovely, moving tribute to Caroline."
A montage of video footage and photographs of Caroline's time on the show played alongside some sad piano music as Strictly stars paid tribute to the presenter.
"I loved Caroline, she was such fun," said judge Bruno Tonioli.
"Great to be with, she really was a joy," he added.
"Caroline Flack, whenever she was around you, you couldn't help but smile and laugh," said professional dancer Janette Manrara.
Former contestant Frankie Bridge gushed: "You could tell that she just loved every moment of being on Strictly."
As the tribute ended, Lorraine said: "She was like a professional dancer, really really amazing, fantastic."
In other clips from the tribute, Host Claudia Winkleman describes her as a champion “who stands out amongst them all” – because she was the first celebrity to receive a perfect 40 score for all her dances in the final.
Co-presenter Tess Daly adds: “She lit up the Strictly ballroom every single week.”
The judges and stars sound emotional as they recall Caroline’s time on the show.
She won the glitterball trophy with Pasha Kovalev and described it as the “best experience of her whole life”.
* Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV at 9am
