Britain's Got Talent winner Viggo Venn pulled out of his slot on Lorraine Kelly's show last minute due to illness.
On Monday, the ITV host admitted that she was excited to have Viggo on the show for his first live TV interview after winning £250,000 and a spot on the bill at The Royal Variety Performance.
Lorraine tweeted: "SO excited to say @ViggoVenn is joining @reallorraine live for his first TV interview tomorrow morning."
However, today Lorraine confirmed Viggo was no longer able to appear on the show as he wasn't "feeling well" but claimed she would "see him later on".
She told viewers: "Viggo was supposed to be joining me in the studio this morning but unfortunately he's feeling too chipper but hopefully we'll see him later on.
She then said that the performer "needs a wee rest" as he showcased a lot of "energy" during the final.
The Britain's Got Talent winner received a lot of backlash after he was crowned on Sunday night as he was booed by some members of the live audience.
The hi-vis-wearing comedian appeared to be shocked when his name was announced by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Britain's Got Talent fans took to social media to talk about the booing from the live audience.
One penned: "Very surprised. But Viggo was very funny. Very distasteful for anyone to boo Viggo. Not his fault he won, people voted for him, not anyone else. Made it a sour end thanks to the audience reaction. Well done, Viggo!!! #BritainsGotTalent #BGT2023 #bgt."
Another added: "Sounded like a lot of boos there when #ViggoVenn was announced as the winner of #BritainsGotTalent. I thought he was great but a shock omissions from the final 3, and I think everyone thought the young lad would win. Bit of a deflated, down-beat end to the series #BGT2023 #BGT."
While another added: "Did you hear them boo’s on @BGT? Quite right too, ridiculous. So much more talent in that final tonight. #BGT2023 should not have made the live shows. Poor winner."
Another raged: "NEVER EVER EVER EVER watching @BGT #BritainsGotTalent again. absolute shambles a guy running about in a high vis vest over so much proper genuine real talent? the boos in that audience, shocked faces and genuine tears said it all for me SHAMBLES."
