Good Morning Britain has provided an update after Ranvir Singh was replaced halfway through the show. Louisa James took over from the newsreader after she suffered severe hay fever symptoms.
On Tuesday, March 29, Ranvir joined Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid for the news headlines. However, she was later nowhere to be seen as the presenters explained what had happened.
Susanna told ITV viewers at home: "It's five past seven, here's the rest of today's news. Now, it's no longer Ranvir. Louisa, you've stepped in. How's Ranvir doing?"

Louisa replied: "Ranvir is fine. Well, I think she's going to be fine. We think she's had a bit of an allergic reaction maybe, she's got a bit of a sore eye. She's just resting."
Richard Madeley said: "I think it's the worst case of hayfever I've ever seen". Susanna added: "It is particularly bad for sufferers at the moment. So yeah, Ranvir's just off for a moment. Welcome Louisa."
Before the start of the show, Ranvir told her followers how bad her symptoms were. She tweeted: "Anyone else got the worst most painful stinging hay-fever they've ever had? I can barely keep my eyes open. If there was a vaccine for this I’d sign up asap."
