Lorraine Kelly apologised to viewers on Monday, November 9, after being forced to pull out of hosting her ITV morning programme at the last minute due to being stuck in traffic.
The presenter took to Instagram to explain that an accident on the M40 had shut the motorway, leaving her trapped for an hour and a half.
Instagram apology to viewers
In the post's caption, Kelly wrote: "I've actually had genuine nightmares about not being able to get to my work - today it was true."
She added: "Sadly an accident on the M40 shut the motorway and I was stuck for an hour and a half. All OK now and hopefully no injuries - but live TV means you can't be late. See you tomorrow - so sorry!"
Impact on the show
The announcement marked a rare last-minute change to the programme's schedule, with Kelly confirming she would return the following day.
