Lorraine Kelly caused a stir among viewers as she missed hosting her ITV show only to appear from Munich during the Euros tournament. The Scottish star, 64, joined via video link just before her homeland’s game against Germany, while Ranvir Singh, 46, stepped in to cover back at the studio.

As football fans tuned in, Lorraine shared her excitement about the atmosphere in Germany, mentioning the shortage of beer. Meanwhile, Ranvir was left amused by the cheering crowd and later confessed to feeling nervous with the ‘boss’ watching her work.

Viewers took to social media to express their frustration, with comments ranging from ‘The long-suffering Ranvir roped in again to host’ to ‘Get back to work FFS!’ and ‘So despite not hosting her own show, Lorraine is in Germany????’. Despite her absence on the show, Lorraine was seen as the sports correspondent on social media.

Lorraine’s sporadic appearances on her show have piqued viewers’ interest, leading to the creation of an account to track her on-air presence. This is not the first time she has surprised fans by appearing on a different show while missing her own, as seen earlier this year when she was absent during half-term and later appeared on another program filmed in the same building.
