ITV's Lorraine show ended today with a stirring tribute to the Queen - but then a picture of a Love Island star flashed up.

Ranvir Singh, who is standing in for Lorraine Kelly over the Jubilee bank holiday, raised a glass to the monarch.

She said to her guest on the show, former royal butler Paul Burrell: "From us, a toast to Her Majesty, Paul."

He said, lifting a glass of champagne: "God bless you, your Majesty, this is your time."

Ranvir, 44, added solemnly: "This is your time. Thank you for everything you've done, Your Majesty."

As God Save The Queen played, an image flashed up on the screen of Love Island narrator Iain Stirling.

More on the Queen's Jubilee

The comedian, famous for poking fun at the bikini-clad inhabitants of the TV villa, is appearing on the show tomorrow.

The shot was quickly replaced by a picture of the Queen and the words "Happy " as the National Anthem ended.

One eagle-eyed viewer posted: "What was Iain Stirling from Love Island doing there?"

Much of today's ITV schedule has been turned over to royal talking points, with Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning all running special editions.

The UK is enjoying the first day of a long four day weekend to showcase the impact of the Queen's decades-long reign.

Princess Elizabeth became Queen on February 6, 1952 - the day her father King George VI died. Therefore February 6, 2022, will mark 70 years on the throne.

It is the first time any British monarch has reached this historic milestone.
