Lorraine Kelly's mum is in hospital after suffering a fall.
The 66-year-old TV presenter wished her mother Anne Kelly a happy 86th birthday on her breakfast show on Tuesday (22.09.26), and she hopes she will be back on her feet in no time.
Speaking on Lorraine, the star said: "Happy birthday to my dear mum.
"Sadly, she's back in hospital. She had a wee fall."
Lorraine wished her mother a "great" birthday.
She added: "God bless her. I hope she has a good day.
"Mum, have a great day as much as you can in hospital."
Anne's birthday comes just nine months after she lost her husband, Lorraine's dad John.
He passed away in January at the age of 84 after he slipped on icy ground near his and Anne's home in East Kilbride, Scotland.
Afterwards, Lorraine told how her family had become "stronger" following the sudden death of her dad.
Lorraine got "teary" reading the dedication she penned for him in her latest novel, The Island Secret.
The broadcasting legend added in Radio Times magazine: "He died in January, when I was giving the story a last tinker and polish, so he never got to read it."
John is survived by Lorraine, Anne, and son Graham.
Lorraine said: "It was a tough January, and we’re not over it; we’re just trying to remember the good of his life, and not focus on the end of it."
The ITV star said the loss has brought her family closer, adding: "It’s difficult, but it’s made us stronger as a family."
Dedicating The Island Secret to John was "very special" for Lorraine, as he and Anne instilled in her a "love of books as a child".
And Lorraine has passed that passion down to her and husband Steve Smith's 32-year-old daughter, Rosie, and two-year-old granddaughter, Billie.
She said: "They always read to me when I was wee, and I always read to my daughter, and now I’m reading to Billie - the same books I used to read to her mum."
Lorraine faced professional heartbreak in January when her eponymous ITV breakfast show's on-air time was slashed from an hour to 30 minutes, and the show was cut from 52 weeks to 30 weeks, as part of the network's brutal budget cuts.
