Usually, on the show, the host is joined by a number of guests where they speak about the entertainment stories of the day.

However, the show announced this week that they wouldn't be on air but that they would be back on air next week on October 19.

They didn't give an explanation as to why they will be off air in their statement.

Taking to Elaine's Twitter they said: "The Elaine Show is on a break this week!

"However, have no fear as the girls will be back on Monday 19th, from 3pm on Virgin Media One!"

This comes after Elaine recently revealed she is unable to see family members "yet again" due to Level 3 restrictions.

The presenter urged people to keep a positive mental attitude but admitted the pandemic is "not great".

Elaine spoke with guests Andrea Smith, Izzy Bartak-Healy and Sarah Jayne Tobin about the upcoming Christmas season.

The presenter asked whether it was too early to begin preparing for the holiday after a UK couple decided to dust off the decorations and light up early this year.

Elaine said she approved of the decorating in order to keep spirits high amid the coronavirus pandemic.

She said: "I was this close to wearing a Santy hat on air today. I'm all for [decorating] - anything that will cheer us up."

Journalist Andrea Smith replied: "It's getting dark and depressing at the moment so anything we can do to cheer ourselves up. Especially in this gloomy weather, we've nothing to look forward to, it's very depressing."

Elaine urged everyone to keep a positive mental attitude to avoid feeling too low ahead of the festivities.

She said: "We do have things to look forward to! Positive mental attitude -I'm forcing it all week because it's very easy to go down the rabbit hole and think everything is bleak and everything's terrible; it's not.

"It's not great but it's not too terrible either. The main thing for me is I can't go home and see any member of my family yet again."
