Lorraine Kelly offers health update as she returns to self-titled ITV show after being sent home

Lorraine Kelly has issued a health update after her sudden absence from her ITV show. The TV presenter was back at the helm of her self-titled ITV show on Monday morning (February 27) after taking half of last week off after being sent home from the London-based studios.
