She said: “Good morning everyone, I’m still here filling in for Lorraine today. She’s feeling a lot better thank goodness and hoping to be back in her chair where she belongs on Monday.”
The announcement marks the end of an entire week off for Lorraine after she went off sick on Monday following her diagnosis.
The move to replace her came very suddenly as she fell ill unexpectedly, leaving even GMB presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls baffled as they joked on air about being surprised when they saw her replacement behind the scenes in the studios at 5am on Monday.

Lorraine meanwhile took to Twitter to update her followers on her progress with Covid as she thanked Carol for stepping in to help.
