TV star Lorraine Kelly, 64, is set to appear on BBC's The One Show to chat about her new book. However, fans are upset that she won't be on her usual ITV morning show this week.
Lorraine's absence from her ITV show isn't unusual as she usually takes time off during the school holidays. Despite this, she'll be interviewed by hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas tonight on the BBC show.
The One Show's official account asked fans to send in questions for Lorraine but many wanted to know why she was often absent from her own show. The account stated: "Don't miss Lorraine Kelly on #TheOneShow this evening! She'll be chatting about her debut novel, #TheIslandSwimmer, inspired by wild swimming in Orkney."
However, the request backfired as fans bombarded The One Show account asking why she never hosts her own show. One fan wrote: "So she can be on the One Show but not present her own show? Make it make sense, dorl."
Another asked: "I just want to ask, how comes you appear on every TV show in existence except your own? And why do you have every school half term off from presenting it? Thanks!" (sic)

However, someone else saw the funny side, saying: "I just knew what the replies would be to this Tweet, and I wasn't disappointed."
Viewers of ITV's Lorraine are a bit miffed because she seems to be away from her show quite a lot.
There's a Twitter page called 'Where is Lorraine?' that tracks when Lorraine Kelly appears on her show.

Sir Ian McKellen is also set to appear on The One Show sofa alongside Lorraine.
The show tweeted: "Acting royalty on #TheOneShow tonight! Sir @IanMcKellen joins us to talk all about starring in a film version of 'Hamlet', as well as his new play, 'Player Kings'."
The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One.
