Concerns as �rough� Lorraine Kelly replaced on ITV show following �collapse� last night

Lorraine Kelly was replaced on her ITV show today (March 5) by Ben Shephard, after the presenter was forced to take a break following health issues overnight.

Viewers of the morning programme had already been voicing their worries over the past few days, after noticing Lorraine sounding increasingly under the weather on air. Some even urged her on social media to head home and rest her voice.

So there was plenty of surprise when Ben appeared instead of Lorraine during the preview segment at the end of Good Morning Britain.

Ben Shephard steps in for Lorraine

As Good Morning Britain wrapped up, the show crossed live to the Lorraine studio to tease what was coming up. But rather than Lorraine greeting viewers, it was Ben who popped up on screen.

Explaining the situation, GMB host Kate Garraway said: “Now, Lorraine’s feeling a bit rough this morning if I’m honest. Ben Shephard, what are you doing?”
