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.

I think she's hilarious! No point getting outraged on someone else's behalf, Adele might not even be bothered.

Why are you all watching her anyway if you can't stand her?

So you think its acceptable (and hilarious) to tell people surviving or currently living with (me) or dying with cancer to eat cake as we're too skinny? Most of us appalled don't watch her - we only read about it here. Cancer and stoma aside (yes I have a stoma too) people should nit be fat or skinny shaming others .

Under her ‘sweet facade’ Lorraine Kelly can be very passive agressive, I didn’t see this interview but I have seen her do it before…..at the end of the day for someone like her that has climbed the ladder to be where she has and stay there for quite a long time I do believe that you must have walked on quite a few people

I saw her interviewing Abbey Clancy once with her daughter and she insinuated something mean about Abbeys daughter, Abbeys face just dropped when she said it and then Lorraine started to backtrack in case it was noticed by others……

Is Mumsnet just planning to pick off all ITV presenters one by one now Phil and Holly have been seen off?

My money is on Joel Dommett as next victim. Or is the rule you have to clear all your breakfast and elevenses before you move on to your tea time viewing?

Interested in this thread?

She’s a novelist now, don’t forget.

Is there nothing this woman can’t do?

You’ve just described many TV presenters & similar, right there. Unfortunately, especially, as a woman, quiet ruthlessness seems to be the only way to get to the top.

I’ve always thought she would be an arsehole in real life.

IMustDoMoreExercise · 04/03/2024 18:10

I really don't like her. It annoys me when she is on The Last Leg. There are so many other people they could have but they seem to like her for some reason.

Hi Lorraine.

😁

BirthdayRainbow · 04/03/2024 18:28

I think she must know where the bodies are buried as she comes across as a very entitled not very nice person. She was also sneery towards Nigel Farage and it bugged me no end she took half them off when her child is at least 360 months old.

FluffyFanny · 04/03/2024 18:49

It's weird to be bothered about whether Lorraine Kelly has half term off or not! How do you even notice this?

BirthdayRainbow · 04/03/2024 18:57

It was in the media. Bothered because someone else with small children "had" to cover the show.

OoohLovelySlippers · 04/03/2024 18:58

I'm Scottish and can't stand her fake weegie accent. Yep she's fixated on her weight, constantly losing 2 stone then putting it back on. She can't stand slim young women.

Agree with pp her daughter is a nepo baby.

Because when it’s your child’s half term you tend to notice when the usual presenter is replaced. Jeremy vine also has half term off!

I'm not a fan of hers, and I think that comment was disgusting.

It angers me so much when others comment on weight. I'm sick of the view that it is okay to comment if somebody is slim.
I am a healthy weight size uk 8-10. My DM constantly comments "you're looking thin" and "are you eating enough?." If I so much as catch a cold, I get "have you been eating and looking after yourself" as though I am myself, to blame. It drives me nuts! My sister is very overweight, and all I hear is: "Doesn't she look great?," when in actuality, she is at risk of a host of health problems, and is getting breathless when walking short distances. I walk thousands of steps a day, fit and healthy, yet I am somehow seriously underweight. I think a lot of ppl have lost track of what a healthy weight actually looks like.

I also saw a clip of LK, and her dd. Unfortunately she is a mini me of her, and seemed very entitled, and arrogant etc as well.

How do these people get on, and stay on TV?!

Edited

I've lost almost 3st and am technically still overweight. A lot has come off my face and my step-father in law was saying don't lose any more weight off your face. It's too thin! It really bothered me. In the next breath he's holding his stomach and complaining he needs to lose weight!

I'd have thought you would have better things to do with your child at half term that watch LK!

BirthdayRainbow · 04/03/2024 19:14

@FluffyFanny pack in the being sneery.

You lot are hilarious! Fake Glaswegian accent? She grew up, went to school and worked in and around Glasgow- what accent do you expect her to have? As if she could maintain a fake accent all the time. DH's family come from the same area as her and they sound similar.

MaidOfSteel · 04/03/2024 19:41

Can't stand that tax dodging . I don't get what all tge fuss over her is about. There are plenty of much better presenters out there.

It sounds like she'll deserve all the complaints she'll rightly receive.

drumbeats · 04/03/2024 19:44

LK is a gaff prone buffoon. She talks over people, interrupts and answers questions herself that she's asked her guests. She's just awful. No idea how she's employed

RabbitsRock · 04/03/2024 19:47

Drives me crackers when she talks over people she’s supposedly interviewing! Shut up woman!

Xylophonics · 04/03/2024 19:49

Agree, v tactless. I presume she's forgotten about Adele's problems ?

LK comes across as v virtue signally to me.

She can still exaggerate her accent for effect, much like cheeky chappy Danny Dyer innit gov’ ner.

WeWillLookBack · 04/03/2024 20:09

The woman is utterly vile.

She managed to dodge a massive tax bill by persuading HMRC that she was not 'employed' by ITV but 'buying her brand as a chatty tv personality'.

Therefore we have to accept that she is actively choosing to behaving this way.

But in any case you can still catch something in passing and notice!
