I Wouldn’t Survive London TV Scene Today!

BBG News

Lorraine Kelly openly shared her belief that she wouldn’t be able to make it in the television industry in London if she were just starting out now.

The presenter, who is 65 years old, has been the host of her eponymous weekday program since 2010, and you can usually find her on your screen from Mondays to Thursdays.

She admitted that, given current circumstances, she couldn’t afford to reside in the capital city if she were just beginning her life there, and she described the predicament as terrible.

As an ardent admirer, I can’t help but reflect on my own journey and ponder if the same opportunities were afforded to those from working-class backgrounds as they were to me. A significant portion of this disparity, in my view, stems from financial constraints.

‘When I went down to London and they gave me the job, it’s so expensive. 

‘It’s so obvious, isn’t it? You’re cutting an awful lot of people out. 

As a devoted admirer, I must confess that without the generous assistance of TV-AM, I simply wouldn’t have been able to make ends meet and call London my home.

On Fridays, Lorraine typically has the day off and is frequently covered by other hosts such as Christine Lampard or Ranvir Singh.

In the past couple of years, an influential social media account monitoring Lorraine Kelly’s absences from her own show has ceased operation.

The humorous social media account named “@LorraineKWatch” first appeared in February 2023, primarily focusing on tracking the host’s appearances on her daily ITV morning show.

In a playful manner, the X account frequently posts comments about the number of episodes Lorraine has been featured in this year, expressed as a percentage.

In today’s broadcast, Lorraine Kelly was absent, allowing Ranvir Singh to take over as the host instead.

This year, Lorraine has hosted 68.1% of the total episodes, which is 32 out of 47. In comparison, Ranvir and Christine Lampard have each hosted 6 and 9 episodes respectively.

In no time at all, the account attracted a significant number of people and garnered over 26,000 followers, who found the humor in its posts enjoyable.

Well, my heart is heavy now, for the joyride we shared together seems to be drawing to a close. You see, our beloved Lorraine has shared her feelings about the account in a heartfelt conversation with The Guardian, admitting that my ardor, as it were, has left her feeling genuinely wounded. It’s a somber moment indeed, as I grapple with the realization that the laughter and camaraderie we once cherished might have taken an unexpected turn.

She mentioned that she hadn’t discussed this matter previously, stating that she is diligent and puts in a lot of effort. For the last year, she has been taking Fridays off. To her, it seemed unusual to be concerned about something to such an extent.

Lorraine admitted that she began taking Fridays off due to her mother’s illness, and it seems more in sync with others since many people work Monday through Thursday as well, similar to the hosts on “This Morning.

The presenter continued by saying, ‘Perhaps it began as a small jest, yet it escalates into something more substantial due to everyone joining in. Initially, it’s just a small matter, but it grows and grows. It truly saddens me.’
