Lorraine Kelly recently shared some exciting news - she's considering moving back to her hometown of Scotland! The 65-year-old TV presenter, who was born in Glasgow, began her career as a reporter and later became a main presenter on Good Morning Britain. She then helped launch GMTV and eventually premiered her own talk show, which has been a staple on ITV for nearly 20 years.
In a recent interview, Lorraine revealed that she and her daughter Rosie, who just welcomed a daughter of her own, have been discussing the possibility of leaving England and returning to Scotland. "Rosie and I were talking about it the other day and we think we'll eventually all end up coming back to Scotland," Lorraine shared with The People's Friend Special. "I miss Dundee a lot. Rosie loved it there and still does."
This news comes after Lorraine made headlines for missing nearly half of her show's episodes this year, with other presenters like Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh filling in. An account called "Where Is Lorraine?" has been keeping track of her hosting appearances, revealing that she has hosted 152 out of 256 episodes, or 59.4%. Lorraine addressed the existence of the account and the speculation surrounding her absences, saying, "The amount of space I occupy in people's heads is quite bizarre . . . it's fine, I don't mind, I don't care."
She went on to explain that she has been taking Fridays off to spend time with her mother, who is not well. "I am having to take quite a few Fridays off because my mum is really not well," Lorraine shared. "So, I can go home now and spend some more time with her and help her more than I've been able to." Lorraine's mother, Anne, lives in East Kilbride, Scotland, and Lorraine had previously shared that she travels "home" to be with her.
Although Lorraine now lives in Buckinghamshire with her husband Steve, she had previously lived in Dundee until 2017. Last week, she spoke to The Yorkshire Post about her 40-year career in TV and expressed her gratitude for still being able to do the job she loves at 65. "I'd like to keep on doing my show for as long as people want to watch," she said. "I didn't expect to still be here at 65, but I am so happy to be doing the job I love after 40 years." Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV1.
