Lorraine Kelly misses a THIRD day on her show as she continues to battle ‘hideous bug’

Lorraine Kelly missed her ITV chat show for the third day in a row on Friday after she was sent home by her bosses.

The presenter’s show was thrown into chaos on Wednesday morning after Lorraine was forced to pull out of hosting her show at the last minute.

Ranvir Singh has been filling in for Lorraine during her absence and told viewers on Thursday that she was “still on the mend” after contracting a “horrible mistake”.

On Friday, the Good Morning Britain star gave fans another update, saying Lorraine was “feeling better” and would host again on Monday.

Kate Garraway briefed viewers on the last minute lineup change on Wednesday and praised Ranvir for agreeing to step in and host the morning talk show.

Announcing the news, Kate explained: “Usually at this point in the show we’d be talking to Lorraine, but I think for almost the first time in her 30+ year history, she’s actually gone home, it’s not right. “.

‘He has a bug! We wish you the best, Lorraine. Ranvir is to the rescue, she is on her way.

On Twitter, Lorraine revealed that she had been sent home after being “suddenly attacked by a horrible bug.”

She shared her disappointment when she admitted that she had been looking forward to interviewing guest Adam Lambert but couldn’t for fear of ‘infecting’ him.

She wrote: ‘When you have to be sent home from work early in the morning because you’re suddenly attacked by some horrible insect and you were looking forward to interviewing @adamlambert THAT! More than disappointed but imagine if I had infected him!!!!!!’

Ranvir also stepped in to present Good Morning Britain alongside Ed Balls on Monday while Susanna Reid is in Ukraine, giving an interview live from the war-torn country.

It comes after Lorraine blushed earlier this month when Ben Shephard shared the very racy text messages her husband of 30 years sends her during his live shows.

Ben and co-host Susanna Reid were wrapping up GMB before doing a live link with Lorraine, and the host couldn’t resist bringing up an article involving her and Steve Steve.

And Lorraine was clearly shocked by the cheeky messages from her partner that were revealed when she asked Ben, ‘How did they get that?’

During the live link where Lorraine explained what was coming up on her show, Ben, 48, quizzed her about the newspaper article, joking: “He seems to be very generous with his affections while you’re on air.”

He often likes to say how wonderful you look in the morning in an affectionate way.

To which a red-faced Lorraine replied: ‘It depends on what I wear. It depends on how much I’m showing.

Going into more detail, she continued: “Sometimes he says ‘Nice tits,’ before asking about the story: ‘How did they get that? Where did that come from? Have I been talking too much again?

And while Ben suggested that Steve might be the source, Lorraine actually spilled the beans herself in an interview with Woman’s Weekly magazine.

Meanwhile, Susanna, 52, said of the situation: “As we approach Valentine’s Day, how beautiful. Your husband still texts you to say ‘nice tits’.

With Ben chiming in, saying, “The next time Lorraine is on her show and looks at her phone, it could be Steve sending a little message.”

Lorraine didn’t feel so sure about this though, as she pointed to her geometric print shirtdress that was buttoned up to her neck and said, “This dress isn’t going to be getting any feedback from him this morning though, Ben.”

As Ben replied, “I’m sure he’ll send you something lovely anyway.”

Wrapping up the light-hearted exchange, Susanna said: ‘You always look fabulous, Lorraine. There are many serious problems, so it’s good to have a moment of joy.’
