Lorraine Kelly left viewers of her ITV show fuming on Friday as she skipped hosting duties only to appear from Munich amid the Euros.
The Scottish star, 64, spoke via video link just ahead of her homeland’s game against Germany, with Ranvir Singh, 46, ‘roped in again’ to cover back in the studio.
Joining other football supporters Lorraine gushed: ‘The atmosphere is really fantastic, but they’ve ran out of beer in Germany!’.
As the crowd around her cheered Ranvir was left in fits of giggles, later admitting it was nerve wracking having the ‘boss’ watch her work.
Racing to X, formerly Twitter, fans fumed: ‘The long suffering Ranvir toped in again to host’: ‘Get back to work FFS!’: ‘So despite failing to host her own show, Lorraine is in Germany????’ Despite not hosting her own show this morning, Lorraine has become the sports correspondent on… #Lorraine’.

Lorraine’s pattern of appearing on her show has peaked the interest of viewers, with an account on X being set up to monitor her appearances.
On Friday morning, the account posted: ‘despite not hosing her own show this morning, Lorraine has become a sports correspondent on ….Lorraine. She presented a segment live from Germany ahead of tonight’s opening match’.
Earlier this year Lorraine Kelly once again left baffled when she was missing from her own show but later appeared on This Morning – which is filmed in the same building.
She was on leave at the time due to it being half-term, with her show being hosted again by Ranvir.
But despite being absent from her titular show, Lorraine was then a guest on This Morning – which left fans reeling.
This comes after viewers slammed the host for taking the half-term week off, despite having an adult daughter.
Fans of the ITV morning show pointed out that Christine Lampard stepped in as guest presenter – even though she has two young children, Patricia, five, and Freddie, two.
An ITV spokesperson confirmed to last week: ‘Lorraine is now off for half term and will be back on Monday 6th November.’

Fans questioned why Lorraine was off instead of Christine, with one penning on X : ‘Why is Lorraine off for half-term, she doesn’t have school age kids’
Another said: ‘It’s half-term which means the woman with a 28-year-old takes the week off and the woman with toy young children does her show!’
A third added: ‘So Christine Lampard, who has young kids, steps in and hosts Lorraine during half term so Lorraine Kelly can also have half term off. Her daughter is 29. Her and Susanna Reid both have an air of entitlement’
One commented: ‘Ah yes. Lorraine has half term off despite her daughter not having been at school for about 20 years, only to be replaced by someone with school age kids. The usual makes-no-sense move’
