Ranvir Singh has broken her silence on her 'urgent surgery' earlier this month, admitting that she 'thought it might be cancer'.
The 47-year-old had to pull out of hosting Lorraine on May 9 because she had emergency surgery just hours before her shift which was actually down to a ruptured appendix.
On Friday's episode of Good Morning Britain, Ranvir and co-host Rob Rinder, 46, spoke to Made In Chelsea 's star Sam Vanderpump about nearly losing his life due to sepsis.
The reality star 'nearly died' after liver and kidney failure caused life-threatening sepsis and took to the ITV show to raise awareness and vital signs to look out for.
Reflecting on her recent own health scare, Ranvir said: 'My appendix ruptured a few weeks ago.
'The thing that made me call 111 after I'd been writhing around all day straight after work, it was 8 o'clock at night and I thought, "Let's just check it's not bowel cancer" because Lorraine's team had been doing a bowel cancer campaign.

'So raising awareness genuinely works in the moment because when you're in pain, you go, 'what could it be?'
'And so just planting the seed in the mind of someone in 111 can work.'
Ranvir took to Instagram earlier this month to explain what had happened to her.
Sharing some pictures from her hospital bed, Ranvir told her followers: '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 - at 1030am 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 continued: 'Woke up 5am on Friday morning, high on anaesthetic and certain I could get into work to host the show as normal..
'Pretty nasty few days, the bacteria had spread and infected my blood etc and told to take this week off by @jadeens.
'I'm sore and shuffling around, can't drive for a week, and no exercise for 4 weeks (!) so really it's the boredom that will kill me!
'Ps. Anyone else have this horrendous shoulder pain afterwards? It's mad isn't it!'
Many rushed to the comments section to share the love and send their best wishes.
Good Morning Britain star Alex Beresford said: 'Awwww wishing you a speedy recovery xxxx.'
Emmerdale star Bradley Riches commented: 'Sending my love xoxoxo.'
Another fan wrote: 'Get well soon! Take it easy!'
'Hopefully you feel better very soon big hugs.'
Lorraine viewers were surprised to see Andi Peters on Friday's instalment of the ITV show when Ranvir was supposed to be presenting.
The 54-year-old took to the sofa in a surprise mystery presenter shake-up.
Andi stepped in for Ranvir last minute, telling 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!
'Get well soon Ranvir. We send you all of our love.'
At the time Andi did not reveal what is wrong with former Strictly star Ranvir.
