Lorraine Kelly shares rare pic of her as a toddler next to her stylish mum

The family resemblance had fans gushing

Mother’s Day may have passed, but Lorraine Kelly is clearly still in the mood to pay tribute to her dear mum.

The Scottish TV presenter, 58, shared a throwback picture on Instagram that shows her as a toddler, posing on a boat alongside her mother Anne in the Sixties.

Anne is clad in a stylish gingham bikini in the shot, and Lorraine’s fans were quick to point out how stunning she looks – as well as noting the family resemblance.

“Looks like she should be in #Cannes – was actually Seamill on Ayrshire coast. #gorgeous #bikini #beautiful #mum.”

In an interview with The Guardian in 2014, the star – who’s married to Steve Smith – revealed that she could’ve been given away as a baby.

She said: “My grandmother wanted to have me adopted. Mum was unmarried when she got pregnant with me, and Granny Mac, my formidable maternal grandmother, wanted her to have me down south before giving me up.

“Dad refused because he was very much in love with mum, and they married four months before I was born. They were just teenagers and I can’t imagine how they coped.”
