Lorraine Kelly reveals two stars will replace her as she takes break from show

Lorraine Kelly has confirmed who will be replacing her as host on her ITV show Lorraine, while she takes a break.

As she does each year, Lorraine will be taking some time off for the summer, and two ITV stars will be stepping in to present the show.

It's not known when Lorraine will be back, but she normally returns in September time.

On the show on Tuesday, the host revealed regular hosts Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh would be taking over and sitting in the hot seat.

Opening the show on Tuesday, Lorraine introduced the pair and confirmed they would soon be on screen again.

She said: "Thank you so much, because I know I'm gonna be off for the summer and you two are gonna be taking over which is fantastic."

Ranvir revealed: "It’s the stuff of dreams, really, I'm not gonna lie. It’s kind of quite surreal for all three of us to be in the same place isn't it."

Lorraine added: "That's not happened for a long time has it," and Ranvir replied: "No, not for a very long time."

Christine then shared what she was looking forward to the most about taking on the show again.

She said: "I love the excitement of every day being so different. Let's face it, we get to meet the most incredible people, you get to chat about things.

"I’m guessing Love Island will filter into the time that I’m on air, I’m a fan. They bank it all for when I’m on because they know I’ve been watching it, so I guess that might feature.

"But it’s just the excitement and the team here, everything’s such a well-oiled machine you just feel like you’re part of the family straight away."

Ranvir also had her say, telling Lorraine: “It’s so fun. The thing that I really enjoy is I don’t get to do fashion ever in my other life. So what I love about it is I’m allowed to enjoy other bits of myself on the show.

“When Mark [Heyes] is on, I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, that hemline’ and I find myself and my sisters going, ‘I saw that on Lorraine ’.

“What’s nice is all my family and friends watch this show, so it’s a lovely thing for me to be able to have another bit of me that I can talk about."

“It’s much more interesting than talking about who’s going to be Prime Minister, let’s face it.” Christine jibed.

The pair are set to stand in for Lorraine very soon, while This Morning has also seen a presenter shake-up for summer.

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV and ITV Hub.
