Ranvir Singh has shared a worrying update, causing her to be inundated with support, as she shared some pictures of her in a hospital bed. The 47-year-old, who often steps in for Lorraine Kelly on the Scottish host's self-named ITV show, explained that she had been rushed to hospital on Wednesday evening for emergency surgery.
Posting to Instagram, she shared a snap of her looking glamorous in a white suit as she posed in the hallway of the ITV studio. In the other images, she looked a bit worse for wear as she was hooked up to medical equipment, including a drip in her arm. Explaining what had happened, she wrote: "Had a fab time as always hosting @lorraine last Wednesday wearing this gorgeous linen white pinstripe suit, felt a bit drained and foggy in the morning but nothing a couple of coffees couldn’t sort out."
She continued: "I’m off air - all good - at 1030am I feel this sudden stomach ache. I stay in bed all day. Turns out I had a ruptured appendix and had urgent surgery at midnight on Thursday! Woke up 5am on Friday morning, high on anaesthetic and certain I could get into work to host the show as normal [laughing emoji]...
"Pretty nasty few days, the bacteria had spread and infected my blood etc and told to take this week off by @jadeens I’m sore and shuffling around, can’t drive for a week, and no exercise for 4 weeks (!) so really it’s the boredom that will kill me! Ps. Anyone else have this horrendous shoulder pain afterwards? It’s mad isn’t it!"
Some of her friends and co-stars rushed to share their support for Ranvir. Posting in the comments, GMB star Alex Beresford wrote: "Awwww wishing you a speedy recovery xxxx."
