Lorraine Kelly has issued a health update after she sparked concern last week on TV over her “puffy” face.
The beloved TV presenter distracted fans, and had them questioning her wellbeing, during last Thursday’s episode (March 6) of GMB and her ITV show. According to them, her face looked as if she had an allergic reaction to something.
Lorraine later set the record straight, revealing she had an accident at home.
Now, Lorraine has updated fans on how she is doing.
Lorraine Kelly reveals update after concern about her face
On Monday (March 10) Lorraine was back to front her ITV show – and was joined by Dr Hilary.
Recalling how she got the bruised eye, Lorraine shared: “I had lots of things in my hands, lots of washing in my hand and then wham! Fell!”
Dr Hilary Jones replied: “Well you can’t see it now?” Lorraine then said: “That’s because Helen has covered it up!”
Lorraine Kelly on ‘hurtful’ social media account
Lorraine’s health update comes after the social media account that keeps track of her absences on her ITV show shut down.
The account on X, LorraineKWatch, was set up last year after fans commented that Lorraine seemed to be away from her ITV morning show a lot.

In a recent interview though, Lorraine addressed the X account – describing it as “hurtful”.
Talking to The Guardian, she shared: “It’s really hurtful actually. It really is.
“I’ve not spoken about it before. I’m a grafter and I work really hard and I’ve had to take Fridays off for the past year. I just thought it was weird to care so much,” Lorraine added.
‘I find it really sad’
Lorraine went on to reveal that she initially took time off for her mum who has been ill.
It’s the way that everyone piles on
But after realising her fellow ITV stars only do “four days” Lorraine admitted she changed her tune regarding her work schedule.
“Mate, I’ve been doing this for 40 years, working my [explicit] off,” she quipped.
The telly legend added: “Maybe it just started off as a wee joke, but it’s the way that everyone piles on.
“It starts off as a wee tiny thing and it gets bigger and bigger. I find it really sad.”
