But the surprise sighting was explained by Carol, who has been drafted in to host Lorraine while its titular host recovers at home.
Carol told Susanna and Ed Balls: “Lorraine’s caught the dreaded you know what, and I’m sitting in for a few days here, which I’m delighted to do.
“But we are wishing her a speedy recovery as she is a bit [sad face].”
Sharing pics of her pet dogs on Instagram, Lorraine said: “The dreaded Covid has finally caught up with me. So thankful to the scientists who developed the vaccine! Being looked after by @rosiekellysmith @rubyisasausage and @steveandangussmith.”
Looking radiant in yellow, Carol was upbeat and full of energy this morning.
A telly and radio veteran, she’ll be a safe pair of hands on the ITV morning show.
Viewers wished Lorraine well, with one writing: “Hope you feel better soon. @carolvorders is as fab as you. Love you both loads xx.”
Another said: “I had it all last week, it isn’t pleasant to say the least. Get well soon Lorraine. X.”
