Veteran TV Presenter Lorraine Kelly Confesses to Disliking Red Carpet Appearances

Lorraine Kelly, a well-known TV personality who has been in the industry for over 40 years, has recently confessed that there is one aspect of her job she still finds "intimidating" and isn't "particularly great at" – red carpet events. Despite her extensive experience in the showbiz world, Lorraine likens herself to "a toddler" when it comes to preparing for these high-profile occasions.

However, Lorraine considers herself "very lucky" to have a makeup artist and stylist who assist her in getting ready for these events. She acknowledges that while she may not excel at the red carpet side of her job, it is still a necessary part of her role.

In addition to her struggles with red carpet events, Lorraine's show will also be undergoing significant changes in 2026. Due to a series of reductions at ITV, the Lorraine program will be cut down to 30 minutes and shift to a "seasonal basis." Lorraine admits that this transition has been "difficult," but she is feeling more optimistic as the alterations draw near.

The presenter reveals that most of the Lorraine show crew have succeeded in securing fresh positions within the broadcasting company, and she is confident that recognizable personalities like fashion guru Mark Reyes and entertainment correspondent Ross King will continue to make frequent contributions. While the program will need to be "tighter" due to its reduced duration, Lorraine assures audiences that it will still be the show people expect.

Despite the changes, Lorraine remains optimistic about the future of her iconic morning show, stating, "As I keep telling everyone, this is just another change-who knows what will happen in six months? They might want to expand it, or maybe not. Who knows?"
