It's a very special song -I had to be a part of it'

For Lorraine Kelly, it feels like only yesterday that she was singing Love Is All Around to her newborn daughter, Rosie - it was their "very special song". Now, 30 years later, she's singing it again, this time to her granddaughter Billie. Lorraine has teamed up with Marti Pellow to re-record his iconic track as a charity single with her Change and Check Choir.

Lorraine tells us her granddaughter is the "bestest thing" and her arrival has galvanised her ambition to raise enough money and awareness to beat breast cancer so it never threatens Billie.

"It's fantastic," says Lorraine, 64. "I'm going there this afternoon to make sure Rosie gets a wee sleep and Steve, her partner, has a wee walk out in the fresh air and just to do whatever I can. I would live in the garden, in a hut, just to get cuddles. The best thing in the world is just cuddling this wee, tiny, little precious thing.
