Lorraine Kelly was left in a serious state of shock on Friday when her show was ambushed by ITV colleague Doctor Amir Khan who sprung a huge surprise on her.
Lorraine was just gearing up to go to a break, teasing viewers that an interview with Dancing on Ice star Rachel Stevens was on the way when show regular Dr Amir walked on set and called a halt to proceedings.
As a perplexed Lorraine looked on with not a clue as to what was going on, Dr Amir revealed that a surprise was on the way but Lorraine would have to wait to find out just what it was.

After an advert break, normal service appeared to have resumed when Lorraine broke news of this year's BAFTA nominations, however, Dr Amir returned to the set to finally divulge what was in store for the famous ITV presenter.
He told her that to mark Valentine's Day later this month, the show were celebrating friendship and then Lorraine got the shock of her life when best friend Joyce appeared on screen after the caption 'Friends for Life' flashed up.
At clocking that it was Joyce, Lorraine's jaw dropped as she threw her arms up in the air, before listening to Joyce reminisce about how they first met at school almost 50 years ago and the high jinks they got up to.
Joyce went onto describe Lorraine as a bit of a rebel and opened up about the "really strong connection," the two women have, likening their bond to one that sisters share and thanking Lorraine for being there for the hard times, including the death of her father.
The surprise wasn't over though and, after the video ended Dr Amir then left Lorraine completely aghast when the studio doors opened to reveal Joyce there in person.
The trip down memory lane continued as the women sat opposite each other and planned their reunion night out, but Lorraine was left gutted that she wasn't allowed to hug Joyce.
