Lorraine Kelly admits 'I was horrible' as unexpected family member makes rare appearance

Lorraine Kelly confessed "I was horrible" as her ITV talk show was "hijacked" in a bid to celebrate 40 years of the TV star being on our screens.

Christine Lampard and Ranvir Singh, who are the Scottish host's usual stand-ins when she is absent or on leave, took over presenting duties, leaving Lorraine totally in the dark about any on-goings or special guests.

Unbeknownst to Lorraine, her younger brother Graham appeared on the screen behind her in the studio, leaving the presenter flabbergasted because he doesn't normally participate in TV appearances. The TV personality gasped and chuckled, as she confessed: "I was horrid to him."

She told him: "I was horrible - you were just an angel." Turning to Christine, Lorraine admitted: "I mean, I was six years when Graham came along and I was a spoilt princess."

The iconic star went on: "He came along and he was the most beautiful baby you'd ever seen in your life with the biggest blue eyes and chubby cheeks you wanted to bite.

"I think I probably did sadly," she confessed, before continuing: "People would stop my mother in the street as she told me one hundred times to say 'how gorgeous' he was."

Lorraine then admitted: "But I was horrible to you, I used to nip you didn't I?"

"We got over that though, didn't we," interjected Christine before Graham had a chance to respond.

He joked: "The trade off was I got to learn a lot about good music, I pretty much know every word to every David Bowie song off by heart."

It's been quite a year for the new grandma after welcoming her first grandchild and now celebrating a landmark four-decade-long career in the British television - and a special ITV documentary will also be aired in her honour - 40 unforgettable years.

On Wednesday 2nd October, Lorraine appeared on Good Morning Britain alongside hosts Susanna Reid and co-star Ed Balls to tease the upcoming show, confessing to her co-stars that she absolutely "no idea" about what was about to air.

She told them: "You know I come on here and tell you what is happening because I've got no idea." Susanna jested in reply: "Has your programme been hijacked?"

Lorraine responded: "Yes, it’s been hijacked by two very special women."

Lorraine airs on ITV weekdays, from 9am.
