Lorraine Kelly says her daughter Rosie is safe and well in Singapore after she was forced to self-isolate over coronavirus fears.
The TV host yesterday told viewers of her morning show that the 25-year-old, who lives and works in Singapore, had been forced to self-isolate after falling unwell.
Former Edinburgh Napier University student Rosie had just returned from a trip to Australia and, after registering flu-like symptoms, she'd decided to work from home pas a safety precaution.
But Lorraine updated Good Morning Britain fans about Rosie's condition, and said "things are okay".
Lorraine went on to explain Rosie had just been following procedures which are in place on the south east Asian island state as they battle to contain the spread of coronavirus.
There are currently 108 confirmed cases in Singapore.
Lorraine said: "She had a bit of a temperature when she was coming back from Australia and a bit of a cough so she was sent home."
After the update, Lorraine, Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid discussed the global epidemic and the best ways to protect ourselves, with Lorraine adding: "It's about being calm and having common sense."
There are 36 confirmed cases in the UK so far, including one in Scotland.
The virus, known as Covid-19, has infected in excess of 80,000 people across 47 countries and the worldwid death toll has pushed past 3,000.
The Scottish Government yesterday confirmed a patient from the Tayside area had tested positive for the virus having recently travelled from Italy.
Clinicians are now trying to source information on their previous whereabouts and who they have been in contact with since returning to the UK.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has since insisted Scotland is 'ready for significant outbreak of coronavirus' and warned that 80% of us could be affected with 250,000 needing treatment.
Sturgeon said: "Scotland is well-prepared for a significant outbreak of coronavirus but there is currently no treatment or vaccine.
"Early detection measures will continue to be vital in helping to prevent the spread of the virus.
"People have a vital role to play in helping us contain any outbreak by following the latest health and travel advice, and following basic hygiene precautions, such as washing hands frequently, not touching their face and covering their nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing."
