Ranvir Singh has been forced to drop out of Lorraine at the last minute on Friday morning.
The ITV show Lorraine has had a rotating host for the past couple of weeks after Lorraine Kelly, 65, announced she was undergoing surgery to remove her ovaries after feeling unwell.
‘Just wanted to let you know I’m having a wee procedure today,’ she explained to her fans on social media. ‘I’ve not been feeling all that well for a little while, so I had some scans and tests, and I have to have my ovaries and my tubes taken out.’
‘It’s purely preventative,’ she continued. ‘It’s going to be with keyhole surgery, which is incredible, I’m being very well looked after, and I’ll obviously see you really soon, and I’m gonna be totally fine.’
In her absence, her morning show has been hosted by a number of hosts, including Christine Lampard and Sian Welby who have stepped in to cover the show.
Although Ranvir, 47, was scheduled to host the show on Friday morning, Andi Peters revealed he was forced to step in at the last moment as she was unwell.
Andi announced on the show: ‘First things first, I’ve just got to say get well soon to Ranvir who can’t be here today, so they’ve drafted in a man in a bright orange shirt just to make sure you’re awake this morning!
‘Get well soon Ranvir, we send you all of our love.’
Ranvir has not posted about being unwell on social media, but fans saw her host the show earlier in the week.
On Tuesday, the presenter hosted Lorraine and chatted with Joy Trew, 98, to discuss her time in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force when she helped intercept German radio communications during World War II.
During the show Joy became emotional as she was given a certificate from the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, the government code and Cypher school and a commemorative badge.
Ranvir was praised online for her compassionate response as she comforted Joy as she quickly moved from her seat and gave Joy a hug.
Ranvir also hosted the show on Wednesday, and Christine hosted the show on Thursday morning for a VE Day special episode.
It is not yet clear when Lorraine will return to the show, but she has shared her recovery with her fans on Instagram.
On the social media platform, where she boasts 572,000 followers, Lorraine posted a photo of her smiling, sitting in the middle of the medical staff who looked after her.
‘Huge thanks to these kind, caring, gorgeous professionals who took care of me at @heatherwoodhospital – back home now and following doctors’ orders to rest up’, she wrote in the caption.
‘My surgeon Mr Ahmed Rafaat has been so reassuring throughout – and I can’t thank the whole team enough!’
