Lorraine makes TV return after Scots host knocked down by 'cracker of a bug'

Television favourite Lorraine was back where she belongs on Monday morning after being forced to miss days of her morning show last week.

The Scots TV presenter was struck down by a 'cracker of a bug', having to leave the set of Lorraine after suddenly falling unwell on Wednesday. The 63-year-old was replaced by Ranvir Singh for the remainder of last week, with the stand-in host having just minutes to prepare before Wednesday's show went live.

However, Lorraine is back to full fitness, providing viewers with a health update on Monday morning's show, reports Glasgow Live.

"It was just a bug. Normally I can bat them away but this time it was a cracker. It got me but I'm all good", the Glasgow born presenter explained.

Lorraine also took the time to thank Ranvir for stepping in last minute.

"Can I say a massive thank you to Ranvir who, when I was sent home on Wednesday, rushed in and saved the day thank you so much love as always" as Ranvir held up her hands in the shape of a heart in response as the pair chatted on Good Morning Britain ahead of Lorraine's 9am slot on STV/ITV.

Fellow GMB presenter Ed Balls branded Ranvir a "superwoman", calling her "unbelievable" after she managed to rush to the chair with just minutes notice.
