Lorraine explained on Monday’s edition of her show: “My Rosie has got a cold and she’s in Singapore.
“She’s self-isolating right now. Steve’s going over to see her this morning and I was saying earlier on, the airports are empty. It’s the best time to travel.”
My Rosie has got a cold and she’s in Singapore.
It comes after 13 more cases were confirmed in the UK, taking the total number of cases to 36.
Public Health England has warned Britain needs to be prepared for “more widespread transmission” of the coronavirus.
The Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed his first emergency COBRA meeting which will be attended by senior ministers as well as chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty and chief scientific adviser Sir Patrick Vallance.
Globally, more than 80,000 people have been infected and around 2,800 have died – the vast majority in China’s Hubei province.
People are being advised to wash their hands regularly with soap and water and catch sneezes and coughs with a tissue.
Avoiding touching your face and mouth is also advised, as well as avoiding contact with people who have recently been ill.
Meanwhile, Lorraine’s daughter flew out to Singapore a few days after Christmas.
