She said: "Sorry I won't be on This Morning this morning. I was looking forward to it as well. I'll be better soon. Ugh, I need a cup of tea."

Carol acknowledged she was not looking her best as she revealed the flu has prevented her from maintaining her appearance. She added: "Well I'm four days into the flu thing. Oh, god, I feel rough and look it. I haven't brushed my hair in four days so excuse that.
"Anyway, thank you for your lovely messages." Carol ended the clip by falling back into a coughing fit.
She was scheduled to join This Morning staple Gyles Brandreth for 'Date Busters', a segment which sees the pair tackle viewers' questions and concerns regarding love, sex and relationships.
Friends of Carol's took to the comment section to wish her a speedy recovery. Alongside a heart-eyed emoji, model Kelly Brook said: Get well soon!" Steps singer Ian Watkins added: "BIG HUGS XXX"
