Lorraine Kelly was replaced on her ITV show on Monday, as stand-in presenter Ranvir Singh sparked some 'jealousy' from colleague Kate Garraway.
Just weeks after she was forced to take a number off days off work, after being struck down by a nasty bug, Lorraine is now taking a break from her programme for Easter and the honour of deputising for her at the start of a new weeks fell on the shoulders of Ranvir Singh, who has filled in for her on a number of occasions.
ITV viewers first became aware of Lorraine's absence near the end of Good Morning Britain, when Kate and co-host Richard Madeley crossed to the Lorraine studio to find out what was coming up. And as soon as Ranvir appeared on screen, Kate was quick to comment on her 'new look,.' which saw the TV anchor debut a fringe and wavy hair.

Swift to talk about her appearance, Kate remarked: "Can I just have brief moment to talk fringe? Umm I love it, I'm jealous of it, I want to know your hairdresser, and I want it for me."
Lorraine being missing from her own show again prompted some sarcastic comments from some viewers online, with one taking to Twitter to post: "Well colour me surprised! Just change the name of the bl**dy show at this point," with a second reacting: "OMFG! Turned on Lorraine for the first time in months and it’s RANVIR! AGAIN. I’m seething with rage"
Other viewers were delighted to see Ranvir at the helm, with one obvious fan of the stand-in host commenting: "Wow how beautiful does our lovely @ranvir01 look..her hair and makeup takes years off her ..I know she doesn't take compliments well but she should..#gmb love the dess too."
Also glad to see Ranvir on screen, another posted: "Love @ranvir01 on @lorraine this morning."
