Ranvir said she is suffering from severe hay fever - and had woken up with streaming red eyes and a swollen face.
She had even sought advice from TV doctor Hilary Jones in the studio after ditching her contact lenses and wearing glasses instead.
When Ranvir had finished the news, Richard said: "Hey, credit to you. You've got the worst hay fever I think I've ever seen."
Ranvir said: "I don't know what's going on. That's why I look like this today."
Richard replied: "I thought you were going to have to stop half way through, are you alright?"
"I'm OK, thanks. Just streaming eyes."
But half an hour later, Ranvir was replaced by reporter Louisa James to read the news.
After Susanna asked how Ranvir was doing, Louisa explained: "She's OK, well we think she's going to be OK. We think Ranvir may have had an allergic reaction. She's got a sore eye. She's just resting."
Just before being yanked off air, Ranvir tweeted to her followers: "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 :(."
Susanna said Ranvir would be "back in a moment", but had failed to return later in the show.
