Lorraine Kelly was praised by fans after gatecrashing a GMB interview.
The TV presenter appeared in a clip on Good Morning Britain this morning, when host Piers Morgan passed over to her in the studio to reveal what she had coming up on her show today.
However, before speaking about her line-up, the ITV presenter had a few words to say to today’s Good Morning Britain guest.
American businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri appeared on the morning news show earlier today, where she discussed her relationship with Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who she has been accused of having an affair with.
During her interview with hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, the businesswoman seemed to swerve questions over whether she did actually have an affair with the politician.
And Lorraine did not hide her annoyance at Jennifer’s interview.
As soon as the TV presenter was introduced on screen, she laid into the interview, saying, “Yeah, that was crazy. What’s the point, coming on and not answering any questions?”
Presenter Piers then passed the question to a rather shell-shocked Jennifer, asking if she’d like to respond to Lorraine.
A stunned Jennifer responded, “Well, I believe I said a few things. What is it that you’re looking for that I say?”
Lorraine hit back, “You didn’t answer any of the questions that were put to you and I just don’t see the point of you coming on to be honest”.

And viewers took to Twitter to express the admiration at the TV presenter for calling out Jennifer.
‘Legend. Queen Lorraine Kelly 👑 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾,’ wrote one fan, while another wrote, ‘Lorraine is an actual savage’.
‘And THAT is why @lorraine is a freaking legend !! 👑,’ exclaimed another.
‘Well said!’ added another. ‘What is the point? Arcuri is just trying to take British TV stations for fools, milking it. Cut the milk supply. Send the pointless yank back home. I’ve lost sympathy.’

Others added, ‘#Lorraine Kelly she pulls no punches. Don’t mess with this woman. Love her’, ‘Lorraine Kelly. National Treasure.’, ‘Lorraine Kelly is my hero’, ‘Go on Lorraine! @GMB 🔥🔥🔥’ and ‘This clip of Lorraine Kelly is INCREDIBLE. 👏🏼’.
‘Lorraine Kelly telling Jennifer Arcuri there’s no point coming on if she’s not answering any Qs is what journos should be doing every time,’ explained one viewer.
While others joked, ‘Lorraine Kelly to host the election debates please’ and ‘#lorrainekelly, please be Prime Minister’.
Aleesha is digital shopping writer at woman&home - so whether you're looking for beauty, fashion, health or home buys, she knows all the best places to splash your cash. She earned an MA in Magazine Journalism from City, University of London in 2017 after graduating from University of Leeds in 2014 with a BA in English and Spanish (which took her to Madrid for a fun Rioja and tapas-packed year). Aleesha has worked for woman&home since 2019, when she joined the team as their digital news writer. A year on the news team gained her quick and reactive writing skills and a love for breaking stories, invaluable insight into where to get the best lifestyle releases first, an AOP awards nomination and the nickname ‘crazy watch lady’ after she became so obsessed with the royals that she followed breaking news alerts on her Apple Watch.
Before joining the woman&home team, Aleesha wrote for their sister site GoodtoKnow, where she covered celebrity news, health advice and where to snap up the cheapest lifestyle buys. With a background in beauty, Aleesha has also written for Stylist and Women’s Health where she developed an understanding into what makes a stellar product and which brands are worth paying attention to. She never leaves the house without a slick of lip balm and a good slathering of SPF, cannot live without an eyelash curler by her side and is always on the hunt for new lipsticks to add to her ‘Lipstick of the Day’ Instagram story highlight (and color-coordinated collection).
But it’s not just beauty buys Aleesha can help you with. Social media savviness, strong PR relationships and a need to stay in the know mean she’s all about the latest fashions, clever gadgets and reliable lifestyle buys too. She loves indulging in an interior craze (with a bedroom drowned in prints, plants and pink), is a regular visitor to the Missoma and Edge of Ember 'New In' pages and can’t resist the allure of a kitchen gadget—just ask her three coffee machines.
When she’s not playing around with new products and testing anything she can get her hands on, Aleesha spends most of her time with her head in a current bestseller, catching up on the latest Netflix craze with her sister, trying out new recipes, drinking wine with her bestie and (in non-COVID times) has been known to be a bit of a jetsetter amongst her friendship group. Oh and she makes the most of her Disney+ subscription by watching the Marvel films on repeat (definitely not just for Chris Evans...).
