She’s one of the warmest and friendliest faces on television, so it’s no surprise that Lorraine Kelly’s Christmas is all about family and friends. And while her usual plans will be affected by social distancing regulations, she’s determined to squeeze every bit of fun out of the festive season.
‘I think Christmas will be even more important this year because we all need some escapism and happiness, and to forget about things for a bit,’ she reasons.
‘It will make us remember what Christmas is supposed to be about. For me, it’s always been about family and spending time with the people that you love. The pandemic is actually going to bring that into sharp focus.
‘I think it will be bittersweet – I really love Christmas and it will be nice to have Christmas at home – but it will be a little difficult this year, like it will for lots of families.’
Lorraine normally enjoys having two Christmases. The day itself at her Berkshire home with her cameraman husband, Steve Smith, their journalist daughter, Rosie, 26, and their Border Terrier, Angus. And the weekend before in Scotland with her parents, Anne and John, who are both 79.
However, because of COVID, she fears she’ll not be able to drive up to see them.
