The queen of daytime TV opens up about keeping in shape, the celebs she’s loved and hated interviewing – and her war of words with Charlotte Crosby…

Lorraine 'I was Confused When Charlotte Crosby Called Me a Bithc!'

We wish Lorraine Kelly was our best friend. Encouraging? Check. Enthusiastic? Check. Bloody hilarious? Check. When we speak to the TV host – who’s been appearing on our screens since she started reporting on TV-am in 1984 – we end up having a looooong chinwag with her. You see, Lorraine loves to talk. And afterwards, we feel like we’ve known her forever (which, when you think about it, we really have).

Lorraine’s not just full of wisdom and funny anecdotes – she looks amazing, too. After dropping from a size 14 to a size 10 in 2014 and releasing her own fitness DVD, the chat show queen has kept off the pounds – and reveals her secrets to us (clue: she’s not fussed with swanky gyms and likes to work out in her local church hall).

Then there’s that baby- smooth skin. Looking much younger than her 57 years and also an ambassador for Avon, we can’t snap up her beauty tips fast enough – she’s our New Year inspiration. By the end of our chat we feel like we could ask Lorraine anything – and she’d answer honestly. And, yes, she has a fair bit to say about that, er, wee feud with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby…

Lorraine, you look fabulous! How do you keep that cracking figure in shape?

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been going to exercise classes with my friend Maxine just over the road in a wee church hall in Mile End [in East London]. It only costs a fiver. We get hot and sweaty, and that actually gives me energy! Plus, it clears my head when I’m stressed or feeling overwhelmed. I absolutely love my classes. They welcome all ages, shapes and sizes from the age of 18 up to 70! You have to exercise. Everyone’s trying to shift a few pounds in January, and you need to find an exercise you like, or it’s not going to work.

Any more exercise tips?
