Those tuning into ITV's Lorraine on Thursday, July 6 were left wondering where presenter Lorraine Kelly was. The Scottish star hosts the morning show from 9am on weekdays but was nowhere to be seen during today's episode.
Instead, Christine Lampard, who often fills in during the school holidays, replaced the presenter. The Loose Women host sat down with Dragon's Den favourite Deborah Meaden, who is releasing a new children's book, and actor Danny Walters, who spoke about his shock return to EastEnders.
And it looks like Christine will also be filling in on Friday, July 7, as Lorraine works on a different project. Explaining her absence, Lorraine told her Twitter followers she was filming for a documentary and thanked Christine for standing in.
