"It was an allergic reaction to something more than tree pollen as the skin around my eyes has gone paper thin and sore. Anyway I’ll be hosting @lorraine tomorrow and for all of next week - sorry for my face."

Needless to say, fans were thrilled to see the TV star back on their screens. One person wrote: "From one Ranvir to another, glad you sorted out the issue, and hope your eyes not so bad today, watching you on #Lorraine this morning, haven’t noticed, looking beautiful Ranvir, my fav presenter, so bit biased."

The presenter returned to Lorraine on Friday

On Wednesday, the presenter was replaced by the show's new political correspondent, Louisa James, an hour into the programme, after suffering an allergic reaction.

Addressing Ranvir's sudden absence, host Susanna Reid said: "We have the rest of the day's news now and it's no longer Ranvir. Louisa, you've stepped in. How's Ranvir?"

Louisa responded: "Ranvir is fine. Well, I think she's going to be fine. We think she's had a bit of an allergic reaction to something, maybe she's got a bit of a sore eye but she's just resting."
