Lorraine Kelly issues health update as she returns to ITV show after being sent home

Lorraine Kelly has issued a health update after returning to her ITV show today.

The TV presenter usually helms her ITV show every morning in the weekday but last week, she was sent home by TV bosses after falling ill and missed her Wednesday, Thursday and Friday show.

Lorraine was replaced by Ranvir Singh on the show for the rest of the week, but she is back now and took the time to thank all of those who had wished her a speedy recovery after she was "suddenly being attacked" by an unknown illness.

Talking to Good Morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls, Lorraine looked well as she made her return.

"Are you feeling better Lorraine?" Ed asked, before she replied to say: "Much much better thank you. Can I just say a big thank you to Ranvir who, when I was sent home on Wednesday, rushed in and saved the day.

"Thank you so much love. She's absolutely brilliant, as always. She's superwoman, she's superwoman!"

Lorraine confirmed she was unwell with a "hideous" bug and was gutted to miss interviewing Adam Lambert.

"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!" she wrote at the time.

Ranvir stepped in after rushing to the studios on Wednesday morning.

She revealed to Kate and Ed: "I got a call from the editor at 7.18 and I was on the train at 7.30," before wishing Lorraine well.

It came only a few weeks after Lorraine nearly missed her show for the first time after an alarm clock blunder.

Back in December, she woke up in a sheer panic at two in the morning thinking she had missed her alarm and quickly got showered and ready, before taking a closer look and noticed that she had completely misread the time.

Explaining what happened on Twitter at the time, she wrote at two in the morning: "So this is a first. Woke up - convinced I’d slept in - super fast shower - threw on clothes and then looked at time properly ...

"So after getting up early - I’ve managed for the FIRST time to sleep in -YIKES !!!!"

*Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV
