Lorraine Kelly has addressed concerns about her appearance, after fans feared she was suffering from an allergic reaction on TV.
The ITV presenter, 65, joined Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain this morning, ahead of her own programme, before returning to the studio for a segment on Loose Women.
However, during her multiple appearances on our screens, Lorraine sparked concerns from fans as she appeared to have a ‘puffy’ face.
‘What’s happened to Lorraine’s face? Looks like an allergic reaction,’ viewer Linda wrote on X, adding: ‘Maybe she will talk about it later it looks really bad. Hope she hasn’t fallen or damaged herself.’
‘I noticed that this morning. Looks like an allergy that has caused some swelling,’ William replied.
Dolly wrote: ‘What has happened to Lorraine’s face today. Who trowled on the blusher. Eyes very puffy.’
‘Hope you’re OK Lorraine, looks like an allergy that’s affecting your eyes,’ Charlie added.
The presenter has now cleared up the situation, revealing she’s suffering from a black eye.
Loose Women’s Linda Robson asked Lorraine: ‘You’ve had a bit of a shiner, haven’t you?’
Lorraine replied: ‘I have, I will explain.’
She explained she was trying to do ‘too many things at one time really fast’, and had an accident yesterday.
‘I had a massive basket of washing, couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room and couldn’t see.
‘There was a wee step, and my slippers are too big also, and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!’
Responding to the laughs from the audience, she continued: ‘It’s a big giant wooden rhino, and I put my face on it, and I thought, it would be fine, but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner.’
Lorraine then praised her makeup artist for doing an ‘excellent job’ at covering up the bruise, before admitting it was ‘sore’.
‘It is a wee tiny bit, but I just feel a bit silly,’ she added.
She then addressed the rumours she’d had ‘fillers’, saying: ‘A lot of folks were saying, “Are you okay? Have you got an allergies?” Our viewers are so lovely! They were like: “You should try this!”‘
‘It’s not an allergy, it’s not fillers!’ she said.
Lorraine recently spoke about the support she receives from loyal viewers, reflecting on her four decade-long career in TV in an interview with The Yorkshire Post, saying: ‘I’d like to keep on doing my show for as long as people want to watch.’
She continued: ‘I didn’t expect to still be here (on television) at 65, but I am so happy to be doing the job I love after 40 years.
‘It’s wonderful and it’s down to all the fantastic people I have worked with, my top team and the viewers who have been so loyal and shown me such support.’
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV1.
