Annoyed with Lorraine Kelly today

She and her fashion woman (Jo?) were talking about the astronauts stranded in space for months. Showed a photo of the female astronaut with her grey hair at the end of the trip, vs a photo of her with brown hair when she got on the spacecraft. Cue lots of laughing and jokes about how she forgot to take her hair dye with her and how she must have enjoyed being back at the hairdresser. Really annoying that this astronaut is obviously v clever, brave, has had this huge achievement in her career (and probably v stressful experience) and they’re giggling about her grey roots. Pathetic

I can't find the complaints bit on ITV website, can you point me in the right direction, Thanks!

https://www.itv.com/terms/articles/viewerservices
I completed the form which is linked near to the bottom of these faq’s.
Thanks to those who have sensibly replied rather than just saying “well you watched it op”! Which rather misses the point (deliberately I suspect)

Its sad when there has been such a marvellous achievement of going to space and they want to talk about someones hair colour...

The irony is that LK professes to be deeply interested in space travel.

I suppose, if we're being fair, it's not really the kind of show for deep and meaningful space talk - it's a bit of froth in the morning. That being said, absolutely no need at all to talk about the lady's appearance.

I hate HIGNFY. Completely unwatchable now.

Good lord-why?

I feel the same. It used to be fantastic, but now they phone it in, especially Paul Merton. It's pretty dire.

I’ve sent a complaint email to itv. Dont expect a response but this has really pissed me off this morning. If I made jokes about a woman’s grey hair at work, I’d be in trouble, don’t see why she should be able to be this sexist on tv

I want to send one too but I can't find the email-can you please share where you put the complaint to please?

JackdawRoost · 01/04/2025 12:02

On the face of it, LK is a mid blue denim midi skirt of a human, an own-brand bag of salted crisps of a person, a Mr Kipling processed vanilla cake (individual serving) sort of woman. A Boots meal deal in human form, if you will.

But underneath this banal sugary scraping of a mediocre coating, (and look into her shiny terrifying eyes to locate this feeling), I feel personally there lurks within her the horrifying essence of some sort of baby's-arm twisting, school toilet door shoving, smiling with all of her teeth and gums out directly into the mirror in a dark hotel room alone whilst making a hissing noise, sort of "slug poisoner and talker-overer of sweet elderly people" kind of woman. Sinister.

I reckon she held a hamster increasingly too tightly in her manicured pudgy adorable little hand, til it popped, whilst trilling Scottishly about the cute wee feller, as the hamster took it's last mortal breath. She then somehow absorbed it's life essence. That's how she keeps going. Soul vacuum.

I reckon she would steal from children's party bags. I reckon she'd make dimply apple cheeks whilst throwing dog poo bags into her neighbours garden. I reckon she would refuse to jump someone's dead-batteried car off in a Morrisons carpark. Like I said, sin..is...terrrr. (Scottish accent).

I don't watch her though so I could be wrong. Merely my thoughts on the juddering implications of her bonny eyes and smile.

TidyDancer · 01/04/2025 12:04

I can’t stand LK. Or should I say ‘the artist known as LK’ since apparently she’s not herself on tv (conveniently pays less tax that way 🤔). She’s a simpering arse kisser. Definitely knows where the bodies are buried at ITV. Can’t fathom any other reason she’s still given such a prominent show. Definitely not on talent after all.

onwardsup4 · 01/04/2025 12:10

🙄 yes how ridiculous, I mean they may well be right she probably will enjoy getting her hair done after but really is not something that should have been mentioned on tv ffs

I hope the Sunita and her male colleague are adjusting well to being back on earth. There were times when I worried that things wouldn’t end well. But thankfully they did and NASA had it all under control.

Lorraine Kelly! It is a wonder she is still on TV. Can anyone please explain why they think she is, because I don’t get it! I don’t watch her but I do remember her being on tv many years ago and I have seen some of her comments/opinions in the media.

Her fame has gone to her head I think. She is very mediocre IMO!

I assume because she appeals to the lowest common denominator. There are a lot of very misogynistic women about.

Elunajeya · 01/04/2025 09:38

She’s awful. She hates women having safe spaces from biological men too.

lol there is no space safe from men, do you think there's an invisible forcefield stopping them entering if they want to

uncomfortablydumb60 · 01/04/2025 12:24

Can’t stand Lorraine Kelly fawning over everything and everyone. Everything is “ amazing, fantastic” and I think it’s all an act.

I have a friend who used to housesit for her and he said she's just the same in real life.

So, we shouldn't bother locking our doors at night either, then? Won't stop a determined burglar coming in anyway.

Of course, there's no "invisible force field" but when you make spaces single-sex, the men who breach them can be seen for what they are and dealt with.

the80sweregreat · 01/04/2025 12:30

I don’t watch her as I can’t bear any of those type of shows and her segment seems a bit dated ( from the trailer I’ve seen) I can imagine the laughing over the astronaut’s grey hair :(
She is also getting into writing fiction and it’ll probably sell because she is a ‘name ‘ whilst other less well known talent struggled to get publicity or published. I’ve no skin in the game myself , but these celeb authors really get on my nerves ( even if the books are good)
They can’t seem to not have their greedy fingers in all the pies :(

the80sweregreat · 01/04/2025 12:32

Oh yes. She is also a tax dodger too by being someone else apparently? 🙄
Even more reason to not like her much.

Mudkipper · 01/04/2025 12:38

Naff, and what is the point? That's how we all looked by the end of lockdown 2. We know our hair grows and anything we do to it grows out.

ThatshallotBaby · 01/04/2025 12:41

@JackdawRoost that’s stunningly accurate and extremely funny Grin

NC28 · 01/04/2025 12:49

She’s a Dundee Utd fan too. Shambles.

Lorraine Kelly makes me feel embarrassed to be a woman

redsun246 · 01/04/2025 13:03

You've been patient. She's been annoying me for about 35 years.

Zingy123 · 01/04/2025 13:54

She is the most annoying person on television. She is so fake it's unreal. How on earth she got her own show is beyond me. Her accent is all over the place. It's time ITV got rid.

SophiaRose91 · 01/04/2025 10:41

Agree! Why didnt she mention how old the male Astronaut looked? I cant stand Lorraine. She is well past her sell by date and needs to be replaced by someone younger and fresher and more in touch with a new generation of audience

Oh the irony……

I wasn't aware her official biography had been released. Spot on. And it's exactly the correct length, too.

Might be a good idea for you to read your post again @SophiaRose91There is a certain irony there if you look very hard…🤣
