Lorraine Kelly Radiates Positivity at ITV Palooza After Controversy Over Remarks About Nigel Farage

She was recently criticised for ‘body shaming’ Nigel Farage on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

But Lorraine Kelly certainly wasn’t letting the criticism get to her as she attended the ITV Palooza at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane in London on Tuesday.

The TV presenter, 63, looked in good spirits as she graced the blue carpet alongside stylist and Lorraine regular Mark Heyes. 

The broadcaster cut a glamorous figure for the event as she donned a sparkly silver blazer along with a matching pair of trousers. 

Adding height to her frame with a pair of heels, Lorraine complimented her outfit witha black clutch bag.

Letting her brunette locks fall loose down her shoulders, the presenter completed her look with a silver heart necklace.  

It comes after Lorraine drew criticism for her comments on Nigel Farage’s nude shower on I’m A Celebrity. 

The former politician, 59, cemented his status as one of the most controversial figures in camp as he stripped totally naked in the famous jungle shower.

Lorraine said the ITV scene broadcast on Monday’s episode was ‘traumatising’ and went on to trash his looks, claiming she was ‘astonished’ to find out ‘he’s only 59’ and saying he ‘got the face he deserved’.

When finding out the ex-politician’s age in a chat with former MP and TV star Edwina Currie and showbiz reporter Lucie Cave, Lorraine said on Tuesday’s show: ‘Is he only 59??! I thought he was a hell of a lot older than that. 

‘That is astonishing. You get the face you deserve thankfully. You really do.’

Viewers of the ITV morning show said they were disappointed with the presenter’s comments as many believed that Lorraine would not make the same comments about a woman.

One penned: ‘I’m not a fan of Nigel, but Lorraine, that comment was below the belt. You never would say that about a woman #Lorraine’.

Another said: ‘Can’t stand all this man hating on #lorraine Same happened to Matt Hancock. Turning over to #JeremyVine early today’.

Third wrote: ‘So the gloves are off for body shaming, are they #lorraine?’

One commented: ‘Please be kind #lorraine’.

Josie Gibson was left in hysterics on Monday’s episode as she was confronted by Nigel’s bare bottom within hours of meeting him.

Television personality Nigel wasted no time in whipping his clothes off to have a wash, leaving his entire behind on show.

Walking through the camp, This Morning host Josie, 38, was stopped in her tracks as she set eyes on his cheeks, with the former Big Brother winner saying in the Bush Telegraph that she’d ‘seen worse’.

After the unexpected scenes, viewers took to X, formerly Twitter, to express their astonishment after witnessing the scenes unfold on television.

Shocked viewers shared: ‘Totally didn’t need to see Nigel Farage’s bum on national TV.’ 

‘Wasn’t expecting to be facing Nigel Farage’s cheeks as I sat down with a cuppa’; ‘In no other country would you see a politican’s a** on national TV. WHAT’; ‘why’ve I just seen Nigel Farage’s cheeks’; ‘Why am I seeing Nigel Farage’s bare a** cheeks on my screen’; ‘can’t believe I’ve just seen Nigel Farage’s a**’.
