Carol Vorderman was forced to drop her morning television commitments as she battles the flu.
The presenter shared the sad news on Instagram as she remained wrapped in a fluffy white robe. Coughing throughout the message, Carol apologised profusely for letting the viewers down but said it was out of her control.
She said: "Sorry I won't be on This Morning this morning. I was looking forward to it as well. I'll be better soon. Ugh, I need a cup of tea."
