On Tuesday's show (December 17), the former GMB political correspondent was chatting with fashion expert Mark Heyes and journalist Bryony Gordon about what they had coming up on the programme, when talk suddenly turned to Prince Andrew, who had reportedly decided not to join the Royal Family at Sandringham this Christmas.
Lorraine host 'feels sorry' for Royal Family over 'difficult' Prince Andrew decision Ranvir Singh is standing in for regular host Lorraine Kelly, who is currently taking a well-earned break for the festive period.
During the on-air chat, Ranvir couldn't seem to comprehend why Prince Andrew was having to dwell on stepping down from festive events with his family and insinuated that Fergie had been the force behind his decision.
The host explained it was now expected that Prince Andrew will "honourably withdraw" from Royal Family events at Christmas to avoid being a distraction.
It is understood that Prince Andrew will instead stay at home in Windsor on Christmas Day after he was allegedly linked to a Chinese spy, who has now been named in a High Court judgement.
