Lorraine Kelly returns to her show after sick day as Piers Morgan cheekily compliments her ‘husky new voice’
LORRAINE Kelly has returned to host her TV show a day after being forced to phone in sick.
The 58-year-old was unable to present her show yesterday, with Kate Garraway saving the day and stepping in at the last minute.
Linking up with Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid said: "Yesterday was a very unusual day as Lorraine took the day off, which was historically unheard of Lorraine.
"How are you feeling this morning?"
From her studio, Lorraine replied: "Do you know, I'm a lot better."
But her voice quickly caught Susanna's attention, who said: "Ooh your voice is low though."

Meanwhile her co-host Piers Morgan cried: "Oh ho, now we're talking! Wow love that voice."
Laughing, Lorraine said: "I'm a lot better, I was dying yesterday, it was hideous as you know I always come into my work."
Piers couldn't get enough of Lorraine's new voice, lowering his own and putting on a Scottish accent to say: "Love the new husky Lorraine, the baritone Lorraine."
Lorraine put her head in her hands and giggled as he spoke before replying: "Don't, don't it's too much!"
Yesterday, viewers were shocked when they tuned in expecting to see the Scottish presenter only to find Kate, 50, in her place.
Kate explained: "Good Morning, I'm Kate Garraway, standing in for Lorraine who's feeling a bit poorly.
"She's been struck down by the lurgy this morning so I'm here instead, so get well soon Lorraine if you're watching."
Viewers were quick to comment on Lorraine's absence, with one writing on Twitter: "No Lorraine presenting #Lorraine today? How will I ever cope?"
As Kate started talking to Ross King in America about Sunday night's Oscars, she revealed how little notice she had had to get to the studio.
She joked: "Morning Ross, I was in bed half an hour ago, they can make you up fast here can't they?
"They dust you down and sort you out."
