Speaking on Twitter on Wednesday, Lorraine confirmed she was taken ill by a “hideous bug” and had been told by ITV bosses to go home and rest. Ranvir Singh took over hosting duties while Lorraine recovered.

She tweeted: "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"

When asked how she was feeling, Lorraine shared some positive news and confirmed she would be back on screens next week. Replying to the fan, Lorraine said: “Much better ta - see you Monday xxx."

Originally from Glasgow, the journalist began appearing on our screens in the 1980’s as part of TV-am. Since then she’s gone on to present a number of ITV and breakfast shows.

In 2010, she began presenting her own daytime programme, ‘Lorraine’.
