Where is Lorraine Kelly today?

Some of the viewers who tuned into Lorraine on Monday (December 21) were shocked to not see the loveable host in her usual seat.

In the run up to Christmas, Lorraine decided to take a well-earned break.

As a result, she asked Strictly star Ranvir Singh to step into the role for her on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
