Ranvir Singh was forced to step in and comfort a guest on the show as she burst into tears after a jaw-dropping surprise on Tuesday’s episode of Lorraine.

The TV presenter, 47, who stepped in to host the ITV show, was joined by 98-year-old Joy Trew, 98, to talk about her time in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force when she helped intercept German radio communications during World War II.

During her stint on Lorraine, Joy explained that she was recently with King Charles, after he invited her to celebrate VE Day – and she even ended up sitting next to him at the celebrations. 

Joy and Ranvir were also joined by Dr Tessa Dunlop, British historian and author, who loves to share people’s stories about who have contributed to the war – and she ended up giving Joy a very special award.

Tessa said: ‘Not only was she in the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, not only was she was dissecting and writing down this meticulous difficult work at 17, she was part of the code breaking nexus.

‘That means, and I write this in the conclusion, that you’re not only a WAAF veteran, you are a Bletchley Park veteran.

This isn’t the first VE segment that ITV have aired this week.

This Morning viewers were concerned for guests on the show after a huge studio shake-up for the VE Day street party.

Monday’s instalment of the ITV daytime show featured Rylan Clark, 36, and Emma Willis, 49.

The pair were presenting from outside the ITV studio and to commemorate VE Day, Rylan and Emma sat down with veterans who witnessed the event 80 years ago. 

Surrounding the outdoor set-up was a celebratory street party and singers. 

However, some viewers were concerned over the warmth of the elderly veterans on the show after the weather had cooled down since last week.

Many posted on X: ‘Everybody looks freezing, why don’t they just take it inside #thismorning.’
