What do you think about Lorraine Kelly posting on Instagram from her hospital bed prior to surgery?

Interested to hear people's thoughts! I suspect opinions may vary and our ages could have something to do with it. But ... don't know.

What do you say?

Be careful what you post online. If people know roughly where you live, they can work out which hospital you are in and even potentially which ward you are on (if NHS). Let’s hope she doesn’t have a stalker.

I wouldn’t do it, but this is the world we live in. I choose not to be troubled by it because how is that going to help?

Why shouldn't she comment? What else has she got to do all day sat around bored in a hospital bed?

What harm is it doing, OP? You enjoy engaging with people online, and so does she. And there’s sod all else to do when hanging around on a ward.

Could you see her growler?

I wish women would learn to support other women, rather than calling them attention seekers.
It’s entirely possible that she posted to encourage other women to take the same route. Maybe she posted to reassure people having the same operation. Maybe she posted to demonstrate solidarity with other women.

Just keeping relevant I suppose. I can’t believe her dated show is still going. Is it still going?

@SirChenjins there are some nude photos of her online, and let's just say it was in the days when women didn't wax..... hence her "growler" was a sketch back in the day on bo selecta. She was less than impressed if I recall....

Exactly this, it lets people know without having to individually message. Then people who want to show some care can

Lorraine Kelly posed nude??!

Oversharing seems to be a pattern with her...

If it helps others going through it then great. its a bit look at me though

I'm not in the public eye so I don't need to see off tabloid nonsense by publicly announcing my news first, but I would feel like I was tempting fate by posting before the op. That's the only part that made me slightly uncomfortable.

People nowadays seem to like taking photos of themselves in hospital gowns and hospital beds to commemorate the occasion. Not for me, but can't get excited about it as long as they're not invading anybody else's privacy or peace in the process.

I'm not saying it's doing any harm and I am not in the least bit "riled up" about it as pp said. I think it's a curious sign of the times, other people think it's perfectly normal behaviour.

I don’t know that it’s attention seeking, I’d guess there’s times you want to talk about things out loud, she just happens to have a larger audience, maybe she was hoping for sympathy or support (and maybe she’ll get it snd it’ll lift her a bit!)

God, don’t people want a private life any more?

Apparently not @BlueEyedBogWitch it’s all about the likes now - if it’s not on SM it didn’t happen.

Och, that’s a wee shame Lorraine hen 🙄

She’s so annoying. And I say that as a fellow Scot.

It seems weird to me because I truly adore privacy, but there are performative people by the droves who thrive on having an audience.

Did the BBC manage to shoehorn in a mention of drag queens, as they're obsessed and Lorraine is a great TWAW supporter?

Ffs. All this ‘women supporting women’ bollocks.

People can find her irritating and comment that they do. This sisterhood crap really gets on my tits.

I have no opinion whatsoever on Lorraine Kelly, btw.

Sometimes it’s nice to get that extra bit of support.
Also she’s normalising that celebs look crap in hospital too, and talking about the procedure etc
I think the positives outweigh the negatives of potential attention seeking

Who on earth cares what celebs look like in hospital?

The obsession amongst some people for celebrity gossip and the need to overshare every single private detail is bonkers.
