When asked by GMB's Susanna Reid how Lorraine was doing, Carol responded: "Well, she's feeling great, which is fantastic. So hopefully, she'll be here later in the week but you know, all the tests and everything that has to be done," before going on to tease the upcoming segments on the show.
Viewers may be surprised to hear that Lorraine might be back on the show so soon given she has only been off for one day. However, since she tested positive at the weekend, a negative lateral flow before the end of the week is still possible.

Viewers were quick to send their well wishes to the 62-year-old, with one person tweeting: "Get well soon Lorraine, sorry to hear you've got Covid, I hope it goes away soon and glad the vaccine is helping a lot also. I know the viewers miss you not being on the programme," while another added: "Awww poor you Lorraine!! Hope you're ok and it's not too severe with the vaccine helping!! Thank goodness!!! Get well soon!!"
Lorraine isn't the only ITV presenter who is absent from their usual position this week as both Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield are taking an extended break from This Morning.
