Lorraine Kelly’s Star-Studded Secrets: From Working Class Roots to TikTok Triumph!

BBG News

She’s long been a fixture on screens as one of ITV’s biggest stars.

Even though Lorraine Kelly has enjoyed four decades of television success, she openly admits that she feels awkward and uncomfortable (cringe) when attending high-profile entertainment functions due to her working-class background.

Or, in a slightly different way:

Despite her long-standing TV career spanning over 40 years, Lorraine Kelly candidly shares that she continues to feel self-conscious about her working-class roots at upscale showbiz events.

In a recent chat, the 65-year-old presenter admitted that her success hasn’t made her forget her humble beginnings, expressing: “I’m not sure where my self-assurance comes from.

Even though I’ve made some progress, there’s a lingering feeling of unease from my working-class background that makes me worry I might be asked to leave when I’m in more upscale environments because I don’t quite fit in.

In a recent chat with Women’s Weekly, Lorraine expressed her constant gratitude towards her parents for nurturing a love for literature within her, given their modest financial circumstances during her upbringing.

She stated, “I believe that was the most wonderful present my parents could possibly bestow upon me. While we may not have had much wealth, in regards to learning, arts, and a love for literature, we certainly prospered.

Among all interviews she’s had, Lorraine recalled the one with Oprah Winfrey as the one that left her feeling the most awestruck. In fact, she admitted to being the most anxious about conversing with Oprah.

She shared: ‘I thoroughly enjoyed conversing with Oprah Winfrey. To be honest, I felt quite apprehensive given her status as a legendary figure, but she proved to be incredibly warm and friendly. She made me feel relaxed – that’s what I’m supposed to do for others. She was amazingly skilled at her craft.’

Although she’s undeniably skilled at interviewing renowned celebrities on her program, in more recent times, Lorraine has bravely ventured into the realm of social media.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but gush over this brilliant Scottish TV personality who graces our screens on numerous shows for ITV. From co-hosting Good Morning Britain and This Morning, to shining in her self-titled program, Lorraine, she truly is a television powerhouse!

Currently, her aspiration is to gain popularity on TikTok, and she’s sought the guidance of Gogglebox star Joe Baggs, aged 27, who has been providing her with advice on navigating the platform effectively.

She’s also picked up on the slang, such as “Rizz” for charm, “Cap” for lies, and “GRWM” for Get Ready With Me.

In an interview, she shared: “I enjoy staying current with social media fads, and learning about TikTok from Joe, who’s both knowledgeable and hilarious, was a real treat. Plus, he’s excellent company.

On her ITV program Lorraine, Lorraine is being rigorously tested for a fresh series, involving various specialists taking up new tasks.

According to a source, The Mirror reports that Lorraine, who has been a staple on TV for four decades and excels in broadcasting, may find herself navigating the world of TikTok. Expect her to engage with current viral trends and brainstorm ways to make waves online, potentially going viral herself.

2025 has arrived! Lorraine announced: ‘We’re stepping into a brand-new year, and our exciting new feature encourages you to try something out of your comfort zone—something extraordinary, something amazing. So guess what? I’m planning on mastering the TikTok dance! Yes, that’s right, TikTok, and I’ve enlisted an expert to guide me.’

In a thoughtful gesture, Joe also equipped Lorraine with a TikTok newcomer’s package, containing a selfie lamp. This sparked her curiosity as she inquired, “Does this help me appear more youthful?

In an intense outburst, Lorraine criticized the ‘harmful’ television industry and harshly criticized Gregg Wallace’s behavior, which she deemed ‘regrettable.’

60-year-old MasterChef host Gregg has temporarily withdrawn from his role due to an ongoing examination into accusations of improper sexual conduct, some of which come from broadcaster Kirsty Wark, and he relinquished his duties on the popular BBC culinary program in November.

In a recent chat, the renowned Scottish figure candidly spoke out about an instance of misused authority, emphasizing it as something that should be unheard of.

Lorraine expressed to The Mirror, “There are harmful individuals in television. Currently, we’re dealing with this issue. If the alleged behavior of Gregg Wallace and others turns out to be accurate, it’s simply abhorrent.

There’s a misuse of power in that place due to an unfair distribution, which is unacceptable and should never occur.

She remarked, ‘Isn’t it appalling that those around them tolerate such behavior? It’s detrimental, offensive, and unsavory. I don’t have patience for individuals who misuse their authority.’
