Carol Vorderman has assured viewers that Lorraine Kelly is 'feeling great' and could even be back on her ITV show by the end of the week after being forced off air by Covid.
Many viewers were expecting to see Lorraine in the studio on Monday as Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid crossed live to see what was coming up, but rather than the Scottish presenter greeting her it was Countdown legend Carol who appeared on screen.
Just over an hour before cameras were due to role on Lorraine, the lady herself took to Twitter to reveal that she'd tested positive for coronavirus, having managed to avoid it for the past two years. She told her followers: "Well the Covid has finally got me and I tested positive at the weekend. Thanks to the vaccine it’s not too bad and I hope to be back at work very soon. Huge thanks to @carolvorders who will be hosting @lorraine until I’m back."
