Lorraine Kelly reveals she went up ‘two dress sizes in lockdown

Lorraine Kelly has revealed she went up ‘two dress sizes’ in lockdown and ‘no longer feels like herself’.

Speaking in a new interview, the veteran TV host, 62, admitted she can ‘no longer fit into her clothes’ after feasting on ‘platters of chocolate every night at 8pm’.

Speaking about her new partnership with WW, Lorraine told The Mirror: ‘It went from a tiny square [of chocolate] to a whole bar.’

Explaining how her weight gain has affected her confidence, Lorraine candidly shared: ‘At the moment, even if I was invited to a red carpet event, I just wouldn’t have the confidence to go.’

She joked: ‘Not even if George Clooney was waiting for me naked with a rose between his teeth.’

Noting that her weight gain was slow, Lorraine – who enjoyed nightly sweet treats with her husband of 29 years, Steve – said: ‘Slowly the weight piles on – it’s not overnight.

‘I noticed because I was going to work and I couldn’t fit into my clothes.’

However, Lorraine insisted: ‘There is nothing wrong with being a size 14, but my body is supposed to be a 10.’

It comes after Lorraine was brought to tears when her best friend of 50 years made a surprise appearance on her show this month.

Dr Amir left the host speechless when he introduced Joyce via videolink before revealing she was actually in the studio.

Gushing about her friend of five decades, Joyce said she ‘couldn’t imagine her life without Lorraine’ before sharing sweet anecdotes about the veteran presenter.

Appearing initially in a pre-recorded video, Joyce offered an insight into what Lorraine was like during her school says, revealing: ‘She was funny, she was witty, she was cheeky and she was a little bit of a rebel, because whatever was happening in school, Lorraine would like to go her own path.’

Joyce continued: ‘We loved David Cassidy and The Osmonds and she was really into David Bowie.

‘I think we’ve got a really strong connection. We just refused to let the friendship melt away.’

Comparing Lorraine to a sister, Joyce noted: ‘Maybe a little bit of it is about she doesn’t have a sister, I don’t have a sister, maybe there’s that sort of sisterly connection – the good bits of being sisters.’

Joyce also opened up about the fact that Lorraine has been by her side through some of her life’s biggest moments.

‘With the death of my father she was there and she was on the first plane to Scotland, because she knew I needed her and there she was,’ she revealed.

‘I often think about when Rosie was born, I ran into my boss’s office and said, ”I’ve got to go, I have to see this new baby!”’

Joyce went on: ‘When I got married, Lorraine was there, and we joke about the fact we were a tiny bit late for the ceremony.

‘[It wasn’t] because of me, but because she couldn’t stop crying – she kept having to get her makeup fixed.’

Joyce concluded: ‘I can’t imagine my life without her in it. I can’t imagine my life with all of them in it – Steve and Rosie too because they’ve just been incredible friends to me.

‘If I needed help for whatever reason, Lorraine would be there in a heartbeat. I love her to bits. It’s as simple as that. Fifty years on, there’s no way that we’ll not be friends forever – it’s just how it’s going to be.’

Lorraine presenter Dr Amir secretly invited Joyce onto the show to kick off Lorraine’s Month Of Love, a celebration of love during the year’s most romantic month.

‘I can’t believe you kept this from me!’ Lorraine told Dr Amir.

Of her and Joyce’s friendship, Lorraine shared: ‘We’re quite well behaved individually, but when we’re together we just go mad. We inspire each other to be naughty.’
