ITV host said it’s been a ‘pretty nasty few days’ after scary experience
Ranvir Singh has revealed she was rushed to hospital after misdiagnosing appendicitis as a stomach ache.
The Good Morning Britain host said that she left it so long to get herself checked out that her appendix burst and she had to undergo “urgent surgery”.
Singh was due to host ITV daytime series Lorraine on Friday (9 May) in Lorraine Kelly’s place, but viewers were left confused when Andi Peters materialised in the presenter’s chair instead.
It turns out that Singh had been taken ill with a stomach ache hours after presenting Lorraine two days before – and by midnight that night, she discovered her appendix had ruptured.
She told her Instagram followers on Monday (12 May): “The bacteria had spread and infected my blood.”
Appendicitis is caused by bacteria collecting in the appendix, causing infection and abdominal pain. In rare cases the appendix may burst, releasing the bacteria into the abdominal cavity causing peritonitis, which can be fatal.
Doctors suggest treating patients with suspected appendicitis with antibiotics and “watching and waiting”. If there is no improvement in 48 hours, the patients should have surgery.

Singh said she had a “pretty nasty few days” and said she is now taking the week off work to recover.
Sharing her experience, Singh 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.
‘I’m off air – all good – and at 10.30am 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!”

She added: ‘Woke up 5am on Friday morning, high on anaesthetic and certain I could get into work to host the show as normal.”
Singh said that she is “sore and shuffling round”, joking: “It’s the boredom that will kill me.”
When Peters presented Lorraine in Singh’s place on Friday, he told viewers: “First thing’s first, I’ve just got to say get well soon to Ranvir who can’t be here today, which is why they have drafted in a man in a bright orange shirt just to make sure you are awake this morning.”
