Lorraine Kelly: Fashion wasn't important to me

OHMYGOSSIP — Lorraine Kelly admits fashion was “way down the pecking order” in her life.
The 57-year-old presenter was too busy raising her daughter Rosie – who is now aged 23 – to prioritise what she wore on television when she fronted ‘GMTV with Lorraine’ from 1993 to 2010.
She said: “During the GMTV days, I would pick Rosie up from lessons and do a raid on the Marks & Spencer and Monsoon beside the school. I just grabbed anything I could – it didn’t matter whether it suited me.
“For me, it was all about getting my job right – what I looked like was way down the pecking order.”
Lorraine had many a fashion faux pas thanks to her lack of attention to her appearance, and wishes somebody had been honest with her at the time and given her some much-needed direction.
She told Good Housekeeping magazine: “There are times when I haven’t looked great. I have worn clothes that weren’t flattering. I’ve had hair styles that weren’t flattering, and I wish that someone had taken me in hand.”
However, the Scottish TV legend – who has graced screens for over 30 years – is finally happy with the way she looks on TV in her fifties because she has enlisted the help of a trusted wardrobe assistant.
She added: “It’s only been since I turned 50 that I’ve felt really comfortable on TV, and that’s because I’m getting help.”
The full interview appears in the February issue of Good Housekeeping, on sale January 4.
