Lorraine Kelly nearly misses ITV show for first time after alarm clock blunder

Lorraine Kelly nearly missed her ITV show today after an alarm clock blunder.

The ITV presenter has hosted her show for several years but she nearly missed today's episode after an error with an alarm clock. She woke up in a sheer panic at two in the morning thinking she had missed her alarm and quickly got showered and ready, before taking a closer look and noticed that she had completely misread the time.

Lorraine then admitted she had slept in after resetting her alarm and had to rush to work to get there on time. She took to Twitter to update fans on her mistake, as they admitted they had done similar things too.

She wrote on Twitter at two in the morning as she shared a snap of her alarm clock: "So this is a first. Woke up - convinced I’d slept in - super fast shower - threw on clothes and then looked at time properly….."

She later gave fans an update, revealing she headed back to sleep and ended up missing her actual alarm, adding: "So after getting up early - I’ve managed for the FIRST time to sleep in -YIKES !!!!"

She added: "I don't know what happened to me. I woke up at two o'clock in the morning but I thought I was late. Maybe I need glasses. But I got up, got ready and wondered whilst all the clocks were at 2. I thought something was wrong with the clocks.

"I must have just been in a really deep sleep and then started panicking."

Kate then revealed she had done something similar herself, adding: "I've done it before where I've woken up at 2pm in the afternoon, done the same thing. Found myself heading to work and thinking oh thank goodness, it's the afternoon."
