Carol Vorderman has revealed the date viewers of Lorraine can expect to see host Lorraine Kelly return to work after her Covid-19 ordeal.
The popular Scottish TV host was forced to take time out from her presenting duties this week when she was diagnosed with the virus, leaving Carol Vorderman to step into her shoes.
Now the former Countdown beauty has confirmed the day that fans of the ITV Daytime offering can expect to see its anchor back in action.

Carol, 61, admitted that Lorraine, 62, is already feeling “better” and primed for her return to TV work next week.
She said: "Good morning everyone, I'm still here filling in for Lorraine today. She's feeling a lot better thank goodness and hoping to be back in her chair where she belongs on Monday."
The announcement marks the end of an entire week off for Lorraine after she went off sick on Monday following her diagnosis.
The move to replace her came very suddenly as she fell ill unexpectedly, leaving even GMB presenters Susanna Reid and Ed Balls baffled as they joked on air about being surprised when they saw her replacement behind the scenes in the studios at 5am on Monday.
Carol then confessed that she was there to replace Lorraine after being drafted in at the last minute.
She told Susanna and Ed: "Lorraine's caught the dreaded you know what, and I'm sitting in for a few days here, which I'm delighted to do.”
Lorraine meanwhile took to Twitter to update her followers on her progress with Covid as she thanked Carol for stepping in to help.
She wrote: "Well the Covid has finally got me and I tested positive at the weekend.
"Thanks to the vaccine it’s not too bad and I hope to be back at work very soon. Huge thanks to @carolvorders who will be hosting @lorraine until I’m back."
