Regular Lorraine stand-in Christine Lampard revealed the news as she fronted the TV legend's show today.

The 44-year-old revealed who would be standing in at the end of Friday morning's show.

She told viewers: "That's all for today. Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Ross Kemp join Ranvir next week. We'll see you soon."

Good Morning Britain's Ranvir Singh was also called into action last month after Lorraine was forced off air by a virus.

She told viewers when she returned: "It was just a bug. Normally I can bat them away but this time it was a cracker. It got me but I'm all good.

And said: "Can I say a massive thank you to Ranvir who, when I was sent home on Wednesday, rushed in and saved the day thank you so much love as always."

There are several changes across ITV daytime in the coming weeks as the main presenters get Easter off.

Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary are taking over hosting duties on This Morning during the school holidays.

Phillip, 60, has been missing from the daytime programme since Monday while his brother stands trial.

This week Holly, 42, has been presenting first alongside Alison and then Masked Singer host Joel Dommett.
