ITV Lorraine guest leaves viewers in stitches with 'deadpan' camera stare

A Lorraine guest left viewers cracking up after she featured on an ITV segment surrounding the Government's Partygate fines.

It was announced earlier that Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak will both be fined by the Metropolitan Police for holding Downing Street parties throughout the peak of the coronavirus lockdown.

Social media has been in an uproar since this announcement, with many calling for their resignations - but there are no signs that either person in power are planning to leave their position.

The latest news on Downing Street is that the Prime Minister, the Chancellor and the PM's wife all received fixed penalty notices for attending a birthday gathering for the PM in No 10 during lockdown.

This means that Boris has become the UK's first serving prime minister to be sanctioned for breaking the law.

All three have since apologised, but opposition MPs have called for the PM and Mr Sunak to quit.

Mr Johnson said he felt "an even greater sense of obligation to deliver", while the chancellor said he was "focused on delivering for the British people".

Daily Mirror editor Alison Phillips and broadcaster Eleanor Mills were on Lorraine on Wednesday morning to discuss the fines that the Tory MPs will face - but viewers were distracted by something else.

During every camera shot, viewers said that was very apparent that Eleanor was tracking the lens with her eyes, giving her an unintentional 'camera stare'.

Viewers took to social media to discuss, as one Twitter user wrote: "Stop staring out the telly at me. Making me feel weird. #lorraine"

Another wrote: "WHAT IS SHE LOOKING AT #lorraine"

A third said: "For heaven sake love you don’t have to stare down the camera the whole time #lorraine"

And a fourth commented: "They're trying to cut between camera shots now to stop her looking out #lorraine"

Lorraine resumes on Thursday, April 14 on ITV from 9am onwards.
