Lorraine Kelly has expressed her outrage over the recent Blue Origin rocket trip on GMB, bluntly telling Katy Perry to "just shut up".
The pop star, aged 40, was among six women aboard the Blue Origin NS-31 flight from Texas, a venture backed by Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos' space firm.
While previewing her own programme on Good Morning Britain, Lorraine mentioned she'd be discussing space travel with comedian Joe Lycett.
Prompted by GMB's Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid about whether it would resemble the Blue Origin expedition, Lorraine exclaimed: "Don't get me started about that. I'm fuming. I'm fuming."
Probed on her intense reaction to the space flight, Lorraine argued: "Because they cannot call themselves astronauts. How can they call themselves astronauts when they were up on a jolly for 11 minutes. And there already has been an all-women crew up in space proper - proper astronauts. It was ridiculous."
She continued, targeting Katy's involvement: "That woman with her daisy. Shut up. Just shut up. Go away and leave me alone."
Susanna, taken aback, responded: "I'm looking forward to your next interview with Katy Perry!"
Reach PLC has reached out to Katy Perry's representatives for comment.
It emerged last week that Katy had second thoughts about the fanfare surrounding her space journey, with an insider stating: "Katy doesn't regret going to space. It was life changing. What she does regret is making a public spectacle out of it."
An insider disclosed to Mail Online that she now has second thoughts about her "kissing the ground" gesture post-flight and her intimate moments on camera within the capsule, which included presenting a daisy to the lens, plugging the playlist for her forthcoming tour, and crooning What a Wonderful World in zero gravity.
Katy opened up about why she took the daisy with her into orbit, calling it a "beautiful tribute" to her daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, aged four, whom she parents with her partner Orlando Bloom, reports the Mirror.
This revelation followed Katy's earlier statement to journalists just after exiting the spacecraft, where she declared the mission was "all for the benefit of Earth".
She elaborated: "It's about a collective energy in there. It's about us. It's about making space for future women and taking up space and belonging. It's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it."
Lorraine airs on ITV1 from 9am on weekdays

A birthday cake is often a centrepiece, but with many shop-bought cakes costing a small fortune, it doesn't have to break the bank. 2 Crystal managed to make her own birthday themed cake for her son Credit: tiktok/@ One mum has shown that you can create a fun, personalised cake for your child without spending a lot – and it can still be a big hit.

Molly-Mae Hague gets her FOURTH parking ticket of the year as she leaves £200k G Wagon outside her Cheshire office while filming her Amazon series
Molly-Mae Hague has been slapped with her fourth parking ticket of the year as she stepped out of her £200,000 G Wagon in Cheshire on Wednesday. The Love Island star, 26, was greeted with the fine on her luxurious car after leaving her offices where she was filming the second series of her Amazon show Behind It All. For the outing, the star wore a stylish brown sueded jacket which she wore with a pair of wide leg black jeans and accessorised with a pricey Chanel bag. She added Prada shades to her look and swept her blonde tresses back into her usual sleek bun. Looking unphased, Molly ripped off the parking ticket from her windshield as she racketed up another fine after getting others in March, February and January of this year. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. A representative for Molly-Mae has been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Her outing comes after it was claimed that a feud is brewing between Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury 's families over their decision to give their relationship another go. The former Love Island star and the boxer, both 26, shocked their fans last summer when they announced that they had split, with Tommy later revealing it was down to his drinking. But this year they have slowly reconciled and enjoyed several family trips with their daughter Bambi, two. But a report from The Sun this week suggested that Molly-Mae's sister Zoe is concerned about them getting back together. In the latest episodes of Molly-Mae's Amazon Prime documentary Behind It All, Zoe expressed her doubts over Tommy openly. And this in turn has reportedly angered Tommy's family including his brother Tyson and his wife Paris. A source told the publication: 'The Fury family aren't impressed that Zoe has been so outspoken about Tommy. 'They're a fiercely loyal bunch and seeing Zoe's comments broadcast to millions of people via Amazon absolutely got their hackles up. 'To them Tommy is a stand up guy, a good, hard working father. His drinking issues shouldn't be used as a stick to beat him.' The insider added that Paris is confused as to why Zoe would try to hinder the family getting back together. Tyson, Tommy and Molly-Mae Hague have been contacted by MailOnline for comment. Zoe said of Tommy on the documentary: 'I do worry for her and my relationship with her if they did get back together. 'I think she potentially needs to look into the future and think about what's best for her and Bambi. She's got a long, rocky road ahead, unfortunately.' It comes after last week Molly-Mae and Tommy looked every inch the happy family as they enjoyed a very lavish 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. After months of rumours that the couple had rekindled their romance following their split in August, the pair finally went Instagram official last month with a loved-up family snap. And Tommy has clearly been making the effort since their shock split as he whisked his family off to a 'surprise trip' to the Cotswolds. Sharing an array of snaps to her Instagram Stories, Molly shared some sweet moments from the mini break as she took a dip in the pool with Bambi. Elsewhere she shared a snippet of her very lavish accommodation which featured huge L-shaped couches and large emperor beds. And Bambi appeared to settle in straight away as she was pushing her toy pram around the luxury property. Alongside a mirror selfie, Molly penned: 'Back from St Tropez and straight to the Cotswolds for a surprise staycation. 'This look is giving mum who's had approx 3 seconds to get ready'. Molly and Tommy fell for each other in front of the nation during series five of Love Island, going on to welcome Bambi and then get engaged in 2023. But fans were shocked when Molly announced on Instagram last August that she and Tommy had split up after five years, with many suspecting he had been unfaithful. In a statement posted to her 8.5million Instagram followers, she confirmed the breakup, saying: 'I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way.' Tommy denied continued speculation about him cheating during a magazine interview, insisting any reports about him being with other women were 'complete and utter b*****ks.' The boxer, who's the half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson, said the reason he and Molly ended their romance was down to his excessive drinking. Also on Wednesday she took to Instagram to promote her latest range with brand Maebe She looked summer chic in a stylish black co-ord in the snaps He said: 'People go through different things in life. I'm 25 years old. I went through a lot and my breakup was in front of the whole world... 'Cheating was never a thing. You can ask Molly this yourself. It was the drink, and the drink is not a good thing.' The pair's split was branded a 'publicity stunt' by fans after they were filmed packing on the PDA at Manchester United footballer Luke Shaw 's Hogmanay party in Cheshire.

Peter Kay announces very different project away from stage after bullying claims
Comedian Peter Kay has announced a very different new project after being hit with bullying claims on his UK tour when he decided to boot hecklers out of his show Peter Kay is ready to take on a new challenge as he has revealed his new project away from his mammoth tour. The comedian, 51, recently returned to the spotlight and has been performing his act in arenas up and down the country. Earlier this year, Peter hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons as he was filmed kicking a heckler out of his show. He halted his performance and had security remove a number of fans after claiming they were spoiling the show for the rest of the attendees. However, after he labelled one ejected fan " Lisa Riley" and the remark caused a scandal, with the heckler claiming Peter was a "bully". Now, it seems Peter is ready to turn the page on the drama as he sets his sights on a very different career. Peter has revealed he has put pen to paper and promises to detail his life in his most personal book yet. In true Peter style, the book hilariously nods to Bridget Jones' Diary, as the comedian's face sits on top of the iconic character. Announcing the news, he said: "Introducing… Peter Kay's Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy from Bolton, Peter's most personal and hilarious book yet. Join Peter for a laugh-out-loud journey through his life, month by month." A teaser for the book added: "Think of this autobiography as a twelve-month subscription to my memories and meanderings across the calendar year. With each month reflecting a different phase of my life, complete with dodgy decisions, bizarre plot twists and more than a few laugh-out-loud moments." Back in February, Peter dealt with hecklers at his Better Late Than Never... Again! gig at Manchester's AO Arena - but things didn't quite go as he'd planned. While he said it wasn't an insult, and Lisa herself acknowledged there was no ill-meaning, the woman in question fumed that the star had humiliated her. "Go on, off you go, Lisa Riley," Peter had jibed, making a comparison to the former Emmerdale actress. Shortly after his remark on his decision to eject the fan in Manchester, Peter opened up on the incident on Good Morning Britain. "I didn't realise it was an insult," he said. "She did look remarkably like Lisa Riley, I didn't realise that was an insult." But despite his insistence there was no dig meant, the woman in question revealed she was mortified. Myar Curran accused the star of being a "bully". Speaking herself on the ITV show, Myar said: "I didn't mean to cause any harm, I was just showing my love as he kicked someone out, but he obviously didn't like it." She added: "I feel like what I said was not abusive or aggressive - it wasn't anti-social and I wasn't drunk. I was just standing u,p chanting 'we love you Peter, we do'. It's just been a bit over the top, his reaction." A month later, Peter threatened to kick even more audience members out of his show at London's O2 Arena. Brushing off the previous backlash, he poked fun at the criticism he faced as he once again halted his show to make an example of one of his fans. Addressing the crowds, he asked: "Is it them in that box? Is that them? Who is it? Eh, it's you monkeys there. Now then, what are we going to do with you now? These people in this area now, do any of you look like Lisa Riley? No, alright," he joked as the crowd erupted into laughter. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, an audience member said: "Peter waded in as the crowd was audibly kicking off due to some disagreement in the crowd. He poked fun at the idea of kicking them out, then dished out the issue to his security. "But he did reference it again twice in the show as they kept shouting, comparing it to a 'boot sale' at one point. It seemed like the audience in the area wanted him to kick the person out due to all the drama."
