Lorraine Kelly looks unrecognisable in throwback picture from 80s TV news report

Scottish TV presenter and journalist (not to mention national treasure) Lorraine Kelly is best known for her work on a number of ITV daytime shows.

Since 2010, Lorraine Kelly has been the host of her own chat show in which she is known for her bubbly personality and easy-going presenting style - as well as her glamorous fashion taste.

After starting out in local news, the now 61-year-old quickly made her way through the ranks and became a familiar face on our TV screens.

Lorraine started covering Scottish news on the television in 1984 before becoming a presenter on GMTV in 1990.

However, even the biggest Lorraine fan would be forgiven for not always recognising the star in her early TV days.

In an image unearthed from the ITV archive, the TV presenter looks almost unrecognisable in a 1984 TV report.

In the footage, Lorraine is seen sporting some thick-rimmed glasses with a short haircut - a far cry from her presenting look now!

In fact, today Lorraine is seen by many women as something of a fashionista and she has been known to take to Instagram to share her latest looks with her 450,000 followers.

You can check out all her looks on Instagram here.

Lorraine is on ITV every weekday from 9am.
