Christine Lampard has said she is excited but nervous to host ITV's Lorraine five months after giving birth to her second child.
The television presenter, 42, who has regularly appeared on the morning show since 2017, will return from 2 to 31 August while regular host Lorraine Kelly is on her summer break. Good Morning Britain's political editor Ranvir Singh is hosting Lorraine until the end of this week.
Lampard welcomed her son, Freddie, with her husband and former Chelsea football manager Frank Lampard in March.
She said of her screen return: "I'm very excited, probably nervous as well, but I'm nervous anyway.
"The fact that I've been out of the TV world for a couple of months definitely makes me nervous to go back in again and people seeing me early in the morning - that hasn't happened obviously for a long time!
"But it's a really lovely feeling, it will be so nice to be back in the studios.
"I visited the other day and I was asked if I wanted a cup of coffee and I was like, 'Oh my God, I would love a coffee!' It was a real treat, and to get my hair and make-up done.
"Considering I've hardly washed my hair for three months! It was really lovely, all those simple things.
"It will be really nice to see everybody, I know all of the team at Lorraine so well.
"It's such a lovely crew and production team, I feel very, very lucky to get back even if just for a few weeks - it's just a real, real pleasure."
