Scottish television host Lorraine Kelly has been snubbed publicly by Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he was grilled by Good Morning Britain presenter Susanna Reid on Tuesday morning.
The ITV host held an exclusive interview with the Prime Minister to question him on the recent Partygate fines, his running of the country during Covid and what he plans to do next.
After this interview was concluded, Susanna interrupted Boris' train of speech and said: "Lorraine is waiting to take up all these issues that you have just brought up in this interview."

Boris looked rather blankly at Susanna, and said: "Who's Lorraine?"
Susanna smiled and said: "Who's Lorraine? Lorraine's a legend!"
The camera then panned to the Scottish television presenter on her namesake show, and she responded to Boris' snub with just a: "Wow."
She then praised Susanna for her cross-examining of Johnson, stating: "Thank you Susanna, a masterclass in a political interview, excellent stuff."

In the background, Boris can be heard saying what sounded like: "I didn't know I was speaking to Lorraine today", as he urges to cover up his mistake on air.
However, not everyone heard this comment the same, as one Twitter user wrote: "What does he say after that? I genuinely can't work it out. It sounds like "oh fantastic, I don't want to talk to Lorraine, ok?" But I'm not sure."
Another replied, stating: "Sounds a bit like he says, "Oh fantastic, I didn't know I was talking to Lorraine" but I could be wrong."
People flocked to Twitter to share their disparity at the Prime Minister's snub of a famous TV host, with one Twitter user saying: "The panic in his eyes - he thought it was someone he'd s****** and forgotten about."
Another wrote: "So out of touch."
And a third said: "Ladies and Gentlemen, Our Prime Minister. A true man of the people."
The official Lorraine Twitter account has also tweeted following the confusion, writing: "'Who's Lorraine?'", followed by the clip of the conversation and a laughing emoji.
Thankfully Lorraine did see the funny side of this snub, and didn't take much offence at not being remembered by the Prime Minister.
Lorraine resumes weekdays on ITV from 9am.
