Lorraine Kelly has broken her silence after being sent home from her show earlier this week.
The Scottish presenter was hit by a "hideous" illness and forced to leave the ITV set of her daytime talk show as Ranvir Singh readily stepped in. On Wednesday morning, ITV tweeted: "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)".
Lorraine added her own explanation as she also posted on Twitter. 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 !!!!!!"

The presenter, 63, was also absent from Thursday and Friday's episodes of Lorraine and remained silent on social media. But now she has given fans an update, both on her health and her career.
Taking to Twitter on Friday, Lorraine responded to a fan who wrote: "@reallorraine hope you are feeling better Lorraine?" The TV host said: "Much better ta - see you Monday xxx."
It was rush for Ranvir to step in at first as she admitted she "got a call from the editor at 7.18 and was on the train at 7.30" on Wednesday morning. But, on Thursday she was much more prepared as she said: "Lorraine is still recovering, I got in for 6:30 today so I should be fully prepared for the show today as opposed to yesterday!"
