Ranvir Singh has revealed why she's been missing from Lorraine lately.

The ITV presenter, recognised for her work on the breakfast programme and Good Morning Britain, which was recently halted for some breaking news, turned to social media to address her absence.

She told followers that she'll be back as a guest host on Lorraine this Friday (10 October), but acknowledged she's been away for several weeks.

Ranvir also dropped a mysterious hint to fans, revealing she's been off filming "something bonkers," accompanied by a yellow heart and box emoji.

What Ranvir has been working on remains under wraps, but supporters can anticipate an thrilling reveal shortly, reports the Express.

Earlier this year, Ranvir required "urgent surgery" after experiencing a burst appendix.

In May, she was taken to hospital near the end of the week, with fellow ITV host Andi Peters stepping in to cover.

Several days afterwards, she posted on Instagram: "Had a fab time as always hosting @lorraine last Wednesday wearing this gorgeous linen white pinstripe suit, felt a bit drained and foggy in the morning but nothing a couple of coffees couldn't sort out.

"I'm off air - all good - at 1030am I feel this sudden stomach ache. I stay in bed all day. Turns out I had a ruptured appendix and had urgent surgery at midnight on Thursday!"

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant went through "a nasty few days" after the procedure as she battled a bacterial infection in her bloodstream, and she's now been told to take the week off.

She added: "Woke up 5am on Friday morning, high on anaesthetic and certain I could get into work to host the show as normal.. Pretty nasty few days, the bacteria had spread and infected my blood etc and told to take this week off by @jadeens".

"I'm sore and shuffling around, can't drive for a week, and no exercise for 4 weeks (! ) so really it's the boredom that will kill me!"Ps. Anyone else have this horrendous shoulder pain afterwards?It's mad isn't it!""

When stand-in presenter Andi was brought in to front the programme that Monday, he spoke with Dr Hilary Jones, who reassured him and viewers that Ranvir will make a "complete recovery" and she will return to the show shortly.

Ranvir took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 where she made it to the semi-final with professional partner Giovanni Pernice.

Lorraine broadcasts on weekdays on ITV and ITVX at 9am.
