Lorraine Kelly gives health update and confirms return to work
LORRAINE Kelly has broken her silence after she was forced to pull out of her popular show due to illness last week.
The Scottish TV host confirmed that she will be back fronting the ITV breakfast show tomorrow.
She made the admission as she responded to a fan online who was left blown away by her real age.
The fan wrote to her: "@reallorraine I can't believe your 63 years old!"
Taking the comment lightheartedly, the host told him neither could she as she confirmed she would be back on her famous sofa in the morning.
Lorraine said: "F*ck Stuartie - neither can I! See you 9am tomorrow."

She threw ITV bosses into a tailspin after she walked away from hosting her show at the last minute last week.
Bosses scrambled to bring in newsreader and Good Morning Britain star Ranvir Singh at short notice to fill the gap and keep the show on air.
GMB host Kate Garraway informed viewers of the line-up change and praised Ranvir for rushing in to save the day.
She said: "I think in almost a first in her 30 year plus history on breakfast TV she's gone home. She's not well. She's got a bug. We're wishing you very well, Lorraine.

"Ranvir is to the rescue though. She's on her way in to get herself ready for the show."
She added: "It's a good job Ranvir didn't say no to coming in and got herself out of bed, otherwise we wouldn't have a show."
Writing on Twitter about her illness once she returned home, the star said: "When you have to be sent home from work early in the morning because you are suddenly attacked by a hideous bug and were looking forward to interviewing @adamlambert THAT! Beyond disappointed but imagine if I had infected him !!!!!!"
