MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE: ITV presenter Ranvir Singh has broken her silence after taking a break from her hosting duties on Good Morning Britain and Lorraine

Ranvir Singh has lifted the lid on why she has not been presenting on Lorraine recently. The ITV presenter, known for her hosting duties on the breakfast show and Good Morning Britain, took to social media to explain her absence. She informed fans that she will return as a stand-in presenter on Lorraine on Friday (10 October), but noted that she has been away for the last few weeks. Ranvir also teased fans with a cryptic message and explained that she has been away filming “something bonkers,” completed with a yellow heart and box emoji. It is not confirmed what Ranvir has been up to, but fans can expect an exciting announcement soon.

Earlier this year, Ranvir had to undergo “urgent surgery” after suffering from a ruptured appendix. In May, she was rushed to hospital towards the end of last week, leaving fellow ITV presenter Andi Peters to take over.

A few days later, she wrote 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 star ended up enduring “a nasty few days” following the operation as she dealt with a bacterial infection in her blood, and she has now been ordered 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 regular presenter Andi was asked to host the show that Monday, he chatted with Dr Hilary Jones, who assured him and viewers that Ranvir will make a “full recovery” and she will be back on the show soon.

Ranvir competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 where she reached the semi-final alongside pro partner Giovanni Pernice.
