Lorraine Kelly sent home from ITV show as replacement announced

Lorraine Kelly was sent home from her ITV show today after feeling sick.

The daytime show's Twitter account confirmed the news as it issued a statement and announced that there would be a replacement host. They said that Ranvir Singh would be "saving the day" after Lorraine "reluctantly" had to leave the studio.

The tweet read: "Very sorry to say @reallorraine has reluctantly had to go home poorly, get well soon Lorraine! @ranvir01's saving the day and on her way, and @GMB's Kate and Ed have what's coming up (And don't worry, Ed decided against doing his Lorraine impression)"

Ranvir explained she was eager to step in as she said: "I got a call from the editor at 7.18 and I was on the train at 7.30." She also wished Lorraine well.

Good Morning Britain hosts Kate Garraway and Ed Balls chatted with Ranvir about Lorraine being 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.

Lorraine also shared a tweet letting her fans know what was happening. She said: "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 !!!!!!"
