Lorraine's Ranvir Singh says 'oh no' as she announces line-up change minutes into show

Lorraine was hit by a last minute shake-up as a guest announced an injury live on Friday's show

Lorraine star Ranvir Singh said "oh no" as she announced a line-up change minutes into Friday's (June 13) show.

At the start of today's programme, Ranvir chatted with Tyler West, who was at the Soccer Aid training ground alongside Harry Redknapp and Steven Bartlett in preparation for the upcoming charity match.


The annual UNICEF fundraiser features a team of professional footballers and celebrities representing England and the rest of the world.


Harry is returning to England's coaching staff for the second consecutive year, joining a six-member team in the dugout that includes Tyson Fury and Vicky McClure. Jill Scott will wear the captain's armband.

They will face off against the World XI, represented by Carlos Tevez, David Trezeguet and Leonardo Bonucci, with Peter Schmeichel and Robbie Keane taking on coaching responsibilities, reports the Express.

During the Soccer Aid segment on Lorraine, Ranvir announced that Bear Grylls, who was scheduled to join Harry and Steven for the interview, had to withdraw from the game due to an injury.

"There might be space for you, Tyler, on the team, because one person who was supposed to be with you this morning is Bear Grylls," Ranvir said.

Bear then joined via a live video link from South London, admitting: "It's a hard one, this for me, I've picked up a stupid injury.


"Doing some Soccer Aid training and some sprints and pulled a hamstring. I'm back on Running Wild next week, so I've got to try and get that to recover."

He added: "I'm gutted. I think that Soccer Aid is one of the most iconic things on TV through the year, such a beautiful cause as well for UNICEF. Never needed more than right now around the world, helping children suffering the most.

"So, I'm really sad not to be playing but I'm going to be cheering you guys on, you're incredible, well done Steven. I'm hoping Team England have got it. I'm so sorry and so sad not to be joining you."

Ranvir then said "oh no" as Bear revealed he would be missing out on what would have been his first Soccer Aid appearance.

He went on to say: "I don't think it would been pretty, my soccer skills are really bad and I was really calling at all the favours, all the friends, to get some tips. I'm hoping it'll happen another time."
