Lorraine Kelly 'furious' as she has sweary response to fake weight loss claims

Lorraine Kelly has said she is 'furious' and is 'taking legal action' after a claim was made about her weight loss. The TV presenter wowed fans back in November when she showed off the results of dropping two dress sizes.

Lorraine, who presents her own self-titled talk show Lorraine on ITV every weekday, took to Instagram to share a snap of herself posing in a figure-hugging pink dress. She posted the 'after' snap next to a picture of herself pre-weight loss as she tucked into a pizza - and fans said she looked like a 'different person'.

"Wow I can't believe both pictures are me!!" she exclaimed alongside the post. "I’ve dropped two dress sizes - I’ve lost a stone and a half - and the best part of all, I'm finding it easy to keep it off." It came after she claimed she had gone from a size 10 to 14 over the coronavirus pandemic.

Lorraine had been keeping fans informed of her weight loss plan and fitness journey. The 62-year-old said she had been sticking to 'healthy habits' with a weight loss plan which resulted in her losing a stone and a half in weight and dropping two dress sizes.

But Lorraine was left furious when a suggestion was made about how long it took her to lose the weight. "Is this correct?" a follower asked her alongside an article making the shock suggestion. And the Scottish TV star didn't hold back with her response.

"No it’s b****x obviously," she said before resharing the original post and writing: "This is utter crap and I have reported – please do not believe this utter utter b****x. I’m furious and will be taking legal advice."

But it wasn't just Lorraine as the claims also mentioned Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden, Emma Willis and Carol Vorderman. And fans were quick to praise her response. @rishka_maria said: "Fantastic response love it." @086Gigglemonkey replied: "Oh @reallorraine I love how real you are. Such a delight."

@JelllyoOo cheered: "LMAO GWON LORRAINE YOU LEGEND HAHA." @alyson_balmont posted: "Go get them Lorraine, you are an amazing human being, a beautiful soul." @SeventiesSue added: "Didn’t believe one Ad! Not something you would shout about AND you don’t need to lose any weight, fine as you are."
