Filling in for Lorraine

COUNTRYFILE host Helen Skelton will stand in for Lorraine Kelly on her ITV chat show next week.

Skelton, who presented the BBC’s swimming and diving coverage at the Olympic Games in Rio, will fill in while the host is on holiday.

The former Blue Peter and Newsround presenter will join ITV’s Lorraine on Monday.

She said: “I’m so excited to be filling Lorraine Kelly’s shoes for the week, although they are pretty big shoes to fill!”
