Lorraine Kelly remains silent after being sent home from ITV show as Ranvir Singh offers update

Lorraine Kelly is yet to update her followers after suddenly being sent home from her ITV show. The presenter was due on her self-titled programme on Wednesday (February 22) when it was revealed that she had been replaced by Ranvir Singh at the eleventh hour.

While she had headed to the London-based studio as normal, Lorraine was actually forced to leave before going live on air after falling ill. The Scottish TV star confirmed she will not be on her show this morning. Good Morning Britain hosts Ed Balls and Kate Garraway confirmed the news on the ITV new programme after she failed to show up for their usual mid-show crossover to tease what was coming up on her show.

Taking to Twitter, Lorraine confirmed she was unwell with a "hideous" bug and was gutted to miss interviewing Adam Lambert. "When you have to be sent home from work early in the morning because you are suddenly attacked by a hideous bug and were looking forward to interviewing @adamlambert THAT!" the 63-year-old typed on social media.

She then added: "Beyond disappointed but imagine if I had infected him !!!!!!" before the well wishes came flooding in from her famous pals and caring followers.

Lorraine has since remained quiet as she tries to combat her sudden illness with it being confirmed during Thursday's edition of GMB (February 23) that Ranvir would be back at the helm of her show. Offering a small update on her ITV co-star, the former Strictly star said Lorraine was "still recovering".

She also shared a joke with Ben Shephard and Kate Garraway about her arrival time for today's edition of Lorraine, saying she got to the studio in plenty of time this morning after managing to get herself on a train the previous day and rush into the studio without any time for prep the previous day.

"Lorraine is still recovering. I got here at 6:30am today - I should be prepared, as opposed to yesterday!" Ranvir confirmed.

Lorraine last posted on Instagram following her appearance on the show on Tuesday (February 21). She smiled for the camera as she showed off her outfit, a gorgeous white and black polkadot Karen Millen dress.

And the post has since been flooded with more get will wishes for the Scottish star. @jojobell7581 said: "Hope you're feeling better soon huni. Xxx." @nanettemackay48 wrote: "Take good care of yourself. Hope you will be back on our screens soon."

@carollynncourtney commented: "I'm sorry to hear you're unwell today. I'm sending all my get well wishes." @margaretreynolds2647 wrote: "Hope you’re feeling better Lorraine." @gillhearnea added: "Missed you today..get well soon."
