TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has shared the heartbreaking news of her father John's passing at the age of 84. John died recently, having recently been in poor health, though his death still came as a shock to the family. He was married to Lorraine's mother, Anne, for over 65 years.
John, who worked as a TV service engineer, passed on his passion for astronomy and science to Lorraine. She fondly recalled him buying her a telescope as a child and watching the moon landings together, encouraging her curiosity. The family endured challenging living conditions in their early years in Glasgow before John's hard work enabled them to move.
Lorraine has previously spoken of her fears for her father's health in 2021 when he battled severe infection and heart failure. She is currently assisting her mother, Anne, who has a kidney condition, and has reduced her work hours to provide care. The family has requested privacy during this distressing time.
