Lorraine Kelly has spoken out for the first time since Prime Minister Boris Johnson famously stated, "Who's Lorraine?", after an intense interview with Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid.
The Scottish television host spoke to comedians Bruce Devlin and Jojo Sutherland on the latest episode of the Be Honest podcast, and opened up about a number of topics.
Lorraine spoke about Boris not knowing who she was, the cruel portrayal of her and others on Keith Lemon’s Bo Selecta, banning Katie Hopkins from her show, Lady Gaga leaving her waiting for hours, and some of her worst interviews.

Talking about Susanna Reid’s interview with Boris Johnson, she said: “[The interview] was brilliant, and brilliant because she let him speak. She wasn't trying to point score.
"She was just trying to get to the heart of the matter. And it wasn't kind of two alpha males. It was a forensic, really intelligent interview.
"She absolutely did her homework and he was on the ropes, because he’s broad strokes, he’s not attention to detail.”
Co-host Bruce Devlin said: “You say Boris doesn’t have attention to detail, how on earth does he not know who you are?”
Lorraine said: “I don’t expect him to.”
Talking about guests on her daytime show, Lorraine, she said: “the only person that I actually genuinely wouldn't have on the show is Katie Hopkins. She's a busted flush. It's because I actually think that person is dangerous.”
Discussing a potential interview with Lady Gaga, she said: “I nearly interviewed Lady Gaga, but we were waiting for her. We were waiting for hours. It was a long, long time ago.
"It must be like five or six years ago. And we were going to pre record after the show. By one o'clock in the afternoon when she hadn’t appeared, we just kind of gave up and thought let's go home.”
Discussing the portrayal of Lorraine on Bo Selecta, Bruce asked Lorraine if she complained at the time.
Lorraine said: “I didn’t complain, but I should have. To be honest I never saw it, because I didn’t watch the show. I was actually very, very upset at the portrayal of Craig David, because I adore Craig.
"He’s the kindest, loveliest man, and that absolutely destroyed his career. For a few years that did badly affect him and his career.
“With me, I just found it really distasteful, really horrible and I should have complained at the time, and I certainly would complain now. I think any woman would. The portrayal of everybody was actually very cruel.”
Lorraine appears weekdays on her ITV show, from 9am onwards.
