The host is being replaced by guest presenters while she is in Antarctica for her 25th wedding anniversary
Fans of Lorraine Kelly will have noticed that the eponymous host has been missing in recent weeks from her ITV show.
Helen Skelton and Christine Lampard have stood in for Kelly, who is taking a month’s leave from the programme to travel to Antarctica and fulfil a lifelong ambition for her 25th wedding anniversary by following the voyage taken by Polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.
Today it's announced that Fearne Cotton will be the third presenter stepping into the fold to cover her while she's off on her icy trip.
Kelly said: “I’m so excited for what will definitely be a trip of a lifetime and I feel very reassured to know that the show is in such safe hands while I’m away. I’ll be keeping in touch from Antarctica throughout my journey and I look forward to sharing my adventure with Lorraine viewers when I get back!”
