Lorraine Kelly SENT HOME from ITV show as co-star ushered in to replace her

Lorraine Kelly has been sent home before her ITV show after falling ill.

The ITV presenter has confirmed she will not be on her show this morning, with Ranvir Singh set to replace her. Lorraine was due to host her ITV show of the same name but Good Morning Britain hosts Kate Garraway and Ed Balls confirmed she was sent home.

They said it was the first time in a long time, maybe ever, that Lorraine had missed a show because she was ill. The TV presenter took to Twitter to confirm she was sick before "suddenly being attacked" by an unknown illness.

When the show started, Ranvir was in Lorraine's seat and confirmed she rushed into work to help ITV bosses out. She revealed to Kate and Ed: "I got a call from the editor at 7.18 and I was on the train at 7.30," before wishing Lorraine well.

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! Beyond disappointed but imagine if I had infected him !!!!!!

As they chatted about Lorraine, Kate joked it was a "good job" Ranvir got herself out of bed - or there wouldn't have been a show.

It comes only a few weeks after Lorraine nearly missed her show for the first time after an alarm clock blunder.

Back in December, she woke up in a sheer panic at two in the morning thinking she had missed her alarm and quickly got showered and ready, before taking a closer look and noticed that she had completely misread the time.

Lorraine then admitted she had slept in after resetting her alarm and had to rush to work to get there on time.

Explaining what happened on Twitter at the time, she wrote at two in the morning: "So this is a first. Woke up - convinced I’d slept in - super fast shower - threw on clothes and then looked at time properly….."

Later, she gave fans an update, revealing she headed back to sleep and ended up missing her actual alarm, adding: "So after getting up early - I’ve managed for the FIRST time to sleep in -YIKES !!!!"

Having made it to her show, she explained: "I don't know what happened to me. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning but I thought I was late. Maybe I need glasses. But I got up, got ready and wondered whilst all the clocks were at 2. I thought something was wrong with the clocks. I must have just been in a really deep sleep and then started panicking."
