Lorraine Kelly so fucking rude!

God she's awful. Haven't watched for a long time but just turned it on and caught her interviewing the lovely Adele Roberts. Thought it was a good interview until the very end when she's given a birthday cake and Lorraine says 'and you can eat all of that cake, you're so tiny, you need to eat'

Fuck me! Adeles in recovery from bowel cancer, has a stoma. As an IBD patient it boils my blood when people think its OK to comment on my weight. Imagine Lorraine saying to someone 'you can't eat that cake, you're so big, you need to stop eating'.

It's reminded me why I don't watch her.

Someone please tell me how Lorraine has managed to hold onto this gig. She is bloody awful
She must know where the bodies are buried

I don’t know about Lorraine specifically, but I have a friend who works in TV as a booker and he says that there is a huge drive to have older women on TV - the unspoken rule in his particular line of work (can’t say where he works as too outing) is you can forget anyone under 45. Two thirds of guests have to be female and virtually all are 50+.

It’s not hard to see why they can’t pull a show with a 64 year-old female presenter off the air too easily.

Rumour has it she may be heading into the CBB house after Gary Goldsmith pulled out. I frigging hope not 🤦‍♀️😬

PinkyPinkyPinky · 04/03/2024 14:32

People may not like her. But I dislike even more the hair trigger, taking – offence pile-ons at these trivial comments towards every person in the media. It’s so tiresome and part of the anti-liberal “gotcha mentality“. It’s so censorious. I’m surprised anyone opens their mouth anymore.

Interested in this thread?

I actually think the fact they're in the media, is exactly why it is acceptable to complain. They are supposed to be role models, and making ignorant comments is not to be tolerated. Millions of people watch them, they need to be careful what they advocate.
There are certain things that should not be condoned, such as the comment LK made. If a similar comment was made to Joe Blogs in a workplace, it would have a high chance of being reported by the recipient I'm sure. Why should LK get away with it in her job? Just because she is famous??

I cannot understand how she is still on tv.

And why exactly does she still take half terms off when her kid is around 30!!!!

Cant stand her either, her national treasure status is hard understand

And the way she avoided paying tax by saying her Lorraine kelly persona on tv isnt the same as the real Lorraine kelly, well fuck me

I much prefer it when she's on holiday and another person presents the show.

I find everything about her annoying - surprised to see she has the same effect on so many on here as I was feeling I was unkind and in the minority. Still good luck to her - it seems she has a lovely life. 🌹

MelonSmoothie · 04/03/2024 14:48

I picked up on this. Not only is Adele recovering from bowel cancer but she was quite overweight in the past and has spoken publicly about her issues with food. Totally inappropriate.

Tend to have Lorraine on in the background WFH and with so many of the guests it's clear she has done little to no research - I've cringed quite a few times listening to her "interviews".

augustusglupe · 04/03/2024 14:51

Talk about getting the face you deserve, she’s starting to look as bitter as she acts.

fatphalange · 04/03/2024 14:51

She's a real horror.

Moier · 04/03/2024 14:53

She talks over people.. Answers their questions.. she's not very bright.. puts her foot in it... doesn't think before she speaks..annoying.

Newbie2808 · 04/03/2024 14:56

She always reminds me of Mrs Doubtfire with her overly Scottish accent and I say that as a Scot myself. None of us sound like that!

Cannot stand her!

Westsussex · 04/03/2024 14:57

I can't stand her, horrible woman

PinkyPinkyPinky · 04/03/2024 15:01

@NOWorNeverNowhere I am offering a different point of view on this. I hate the “gotcha” mentality over this trivial nonsense. Surely people have better things to do with their time.

Whatevershallidowithmylife · 04/03/2024 15:09

Can't stand her. It's never acceptable to comment on anyones weight or image, even worse when there may be medical reasons.

MaloneMeadow · 04/03/2024 15:12

My personal favourite twitter account at the minute!

Lorraine Kelly so fucking rude!

I agree she's insufferable, but Lorraine Kelly is well known for telling fatties no more cake - I remember My Big Fat Family or whatever it was called 🤣

Flowers4me · 04/03/2024 15:17

Yes, I find her rude and silly and just generally inauthentic. It's a shame, I welcome older presenters as for a long while there was hardly any, but they still need to be good at their job and respectful of those they interview. Time for a change, I think.

BringMeTea · 04/03/2024 15:19

Does anyone remember when those 'readers' wives' pics of her were posted on here? Going back years... worse than Sir Terry's schlong.

Yep 😲Still on the net to see. Of course she's denied they're her but they obviously are. The dirty minx 😲

No? Do show.
God I’d forgotten about the Terry Wogan pic 😆🤣

UpsideLeft · 04/03/2024 15:44

Why do ITV keep these dreadful people on our screens for decades

Thank god Schofield finally went opening up our screens to more interesting presenters

Get rid of this awful woman

When I'm home and she's on I have to switch over. She's so insincere and makes my skin crawl

I also can't stand loose women especially the ones that have been there the longest. Yawn

ChristmasFluff · 04/03/2024 15:54

I really don't like her. I remember recently when she was interviewing Anne Reid, and Anne said she didn't want to say her age, and then at the end of the interview Lorraine says, 'I promised not to say your age, but in bingo it's two fat ladies.'

What a fucking bitch.

Crikeyalmighty · 04/03/2024 16:03

I just think she a pretty hard nosed person and somewhat fake-
