ANGELLICA Bell has made her telly return after her shock "secret sacking" from the Martin Lewis Money Show.
The broadcaster, 47, was back on the box on Thursday's episode of Lorraine.
It came after the former CBBC host's unexpected removal from the Money Saving Expert's flagship show – with no explanation for her absense.
She was on Lorraine Kelly's weekday ITV programme speaking live from the Magic Radio studio.
She was chatting about the radio station's support for Lorraine's Change And Check Choir and its single Golden, which is bidding for the Number One spot in the UK Charts.
The track – which also features Joss Stone – will raise funds for breast cancer.

She then added of the song: "It's amazing – it's really, really good."

The Sun recently revealed that a couple of days before filming, Angellica was told she would no longer be required for Martin Lewis' show.
Producers claimed her decision to appear on Channel 5's The Gadget Show – freshly rebranded as Shop Smart, Save Money – represented a conflict of interest.
Officially no parties involved have commented on Angellica's exit, which has only added fuel to the online fire with fans taking to social media to question her absence.
One fan wrote: "Where's @angellicabell? Bring her back!"
Angellica joined the show in 2017 and helped the programme receive a nomination for a TV BAFTA.
source close to the show said: "Angellica was a valued part of the team having joined in series seven, but, given the importance of maintaining a clear, individual and distinct identity for the show it was felt that her new role meant she would not be offered a new contract to continue on the Martin Lewis Money Show Live.
“The Martin Lewis Money Show Live production team did not become aware that Angelica's new show would be called Shop Smart, Save Money until that programme was announced to the media in late September, with filming for it involving Angelllica having already started prior to that.
“An amicable discussion was held with her regarding the situation."
