Lorraine Kelly is recovering in hospital after falling from a horse.

The bubbly TV favourite was training for a charity horse riding event in London when she was thrown from the saddle on Tuesday.

The Scottish star was rushed to St George's Hospital in Tooting by paramedics and she subsequently underwent surgery to treat a deep laceration on her leg.

She will be absent from the sofa on her Lorraine show on ITV for the next few days, and admits the injury could take weeks to heal.

Speaking to the Scottish Sun, Lorraine says: "I fell off the horse and it stamped on my leg. It's a bad and deep laceration but it could have been so much worse.

"I'm in hospital - just out of theatre, had a wee op. It will take five weeks to recover."

The fall happened at an equestrian centre in Surrey, where Lorraine was riding alongside former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's wife Sarah in an event to raise funds for charity PiggyBankKids.

Former GMTV newsreader Helen Fospero will fill in for Lorraine while she recovers.

A rep for ITV said: "Lorraine was hasn't broken anything - she's just bruised and shocked. Lorraine is being kept in hospital overnight just as a precaution.

"She's in good spirits. Helen's looking after the show."

I really cannot abide this woman, I have to turn the tv over when she comes on, her stupid baby talk and giggles drive me mad, she also speaks that fast with her very strong scottish accent it is very hard to tell what she is saying most of the time, I did think I alone is my thoughts, but is quite refreshing to see I am not the only one who wonders why she is so popular and is still on our screens. Fortunately she only works 4 days a week and is away more time than she is on, but probably gets an eye watering amount of money for the drivel she produces.

I agree....one of the most annoying people on TV, I can't understand why she keeps holding on to her jobs on morning telly when better presenters (eg Penny Smith) are given the boot.
10:37 AM on 02/23/2012
Well it gives other presenters with a chance to make their way in the world of Television I always like to see FRESH FACES ON TV some of those characters have been on for decades

I see we have a bit of Klaas on the prog. this morning
07:53 AM on 02/23/2012
I can't stand Americanisms like 'hospitalised. Does it mean that she's now a hospital?
12:29 AM on 02/23/2012
I'm glad her wee operation (urinary incontinence) went well, now for a few weeks rest from the verbal diarrhoea!
08:48 AM on 02/23/2012
Glad to see you watch her on t.v. and that you will be getting a "wee" rest from verbal diahorea ! Speaking of s***e , did you watch James Cordin at the awards a couple of nights ago .
09:12 PM on 02/23/2012
kein mein freches Mädel
11:33 PM on 02/22/2012
Could you see her growler?
10:10 PM on 02/22/2012
Hope the old nags alright and the horse
09:10 PM on 02/22/2012
This might give her a chance to stay at home for a bit with her daughter ,,, remember her. The kid she had,,an left up in Scotland ... same as Kate Garraway ,.. its a wonder the kids recognise them .

4th go at trying to leave a comment, how is the horse, in a stable condition?
09:11 PM on 02/22/2012
Let's try and leave the rest of the comment, the article says she will be away for a few days, she only works 4 days a week and seems to have 12 weeks holiday a year, another over paid underworked TV person, also can't understand her, why do we have so many Scottish presenters on TV?, hoepfully when Scotland become independant they will all go back home
10:19 PM on 02/22/2012
Well said!
