Ranvir Singh is also scheduled to fill in for Lorraine over the next month. Speaking about what's to come, Christine said: "Spend your mornings in great company this summer with the one and only Ranvir Singh."

Ranvir said: "And she's back, it's Christine Lampard." Christine added: "We're both stepping into the hot seat on Lorraine."

Ranvir said: "Fashion, food, fun and fabulous showbiz guests." Christine said: "And the stories that matter to you. So join us this summer at 9am on Lorraine."

Ranvir is currently fronting Good Morning Britain, standing in as Kate Garraway's replacement. Kate has taken time away from GMB as her husband Derek Draper returned to hospital following Covid-19 health complications.

According to the Evening Standard, Kate will now miss a second week of GMB. No date has been given for her return.

A representative for ITV told the Evening Standard: “Kate is taking some time off work over the next few days, and is hoping to be back to her normal presenting duties as soon as possible.”
