Addressing Ranvir, Kate Garraway said: “She’s officially here today. Did you get a little more notice?
Ranvir quipped: “Lorraine is still recovering. I got here at 6:30am today – I should be prepared, as opposed to yesterday!”
The news of the last-minute line up was revealed on Wednesday, with Katie telling GMB viewers: “Usually at this point in the show we’d be chatting to Lorraine.
“But I think in almost a first in her 30-year-plus history, she’s actually gone home, she’s not well.

She wrote: “When you have to be sent home from work early in the morning because you are suddenly attacked by a hideous bug and were looking forward to interviewing @adamlambert THAT! Beyond disappointed but imagine if I had infected him !!!!!!”
