Lorraine Kelly speaks to viral Scottish 'milker' ahead of her return to TV
The TV presenter has been off screens since undergoing surgery earlier this month, but before that she took part in what might be her strangest interview yet
TV legend Lorraine Kelly has taken on perhaps her most bizarre role to date as she prepares to return to our screens after undergoing surgery – all aboard a vivid orange 'milk float'. Expected to be back delighting viewers from next week, the beloved presenter connected with none other than Angus McLean, famously known as the 'Nessie Milker', who has recently launched a mission to bring his unique 'Nessie Nectar' across the UK in his milk-float.
McLean recently found viral fame after sharing insider glimpses of his 'Nessie Nectar' venture at Loch Ness, where he concocts an unusual new twist on Scotland's favourite soft drink, IRN-BRU.
Now, McLean is setting off from the iconic Scottish loch to share his limited-edition Nessie Nectar flavour, IRN-BRU XTRA, with enthusiasts around the country.
Lorraine couldn't hide her excitement over the one-of-a-kind interview, commenting: "Oh, what a treat it was to meet Angus as he sets off on his big UK tour."
She went on to say: "Hearing all about his time working with one of Scotland's most famous legends was just magical."
The TV star urged fans to watch out for the remarkable Nessie-themed float as it journeyed through the UK and reminded them to arrange their special deliveries while Angus is travelling.
Kelly, 65, recently underwent survey surgery on May but has assured her Instagram followers that her recovery was progressing well.
Earlier in the week, she shared an intimate update from her bed, stating that spending time with her granddaughter Billie was 'the best medicine ever'.
Before her operation, Lorraine even managed a hop onto the mythical creature-inspired float, loaded with eye-catching cans of the exclusive beverage and whimsically adorned with Nessie's signature humps and tail.
The new Legend Editions 330ml cans also include a Unicorn Tears flavour, with tears supposedly farmed from Unicorns themselves.
IRN-BRU was originally launched to an original secret recipe in 1901 in Scotland, and has been a national favourite ever since.
Kenny Nicholson, head of brand at IRN-BRU, said: 'McLean & Sons have been tugging on Nessie's teat for centuries so it's finally time to share her juicy nectar with the rest of the UK.
'Who better than Lorraine Kelly to help kick off the tour?'
To be in with a chance of catching a glimpse of the float and tasting Nessie's Nectar, fans simply need to send a text to McLean & Son's hotline on 07955 583726.

Jason Cummings relives aftermath of Open Goal Live controversy that ended Dundee career
Jason Cummings has opened up on the Open Goal Live storm that triggered the end of his Dundee career. After signing from Shrewsbury Town in January 2021, the 29-year-old striker notched 14 goals in 36 appearances for the Dee until a controversial appearance on stage at the Hydro in Glasgow the following December. Less than 48 hours before Dundee were due to face Hearts in the Premiership, Cummings, dressed as the Joker from Batman film 'The Dark Knight', was featured in a live show staged by popular Scottish football podcast Open Goal. Cummings admitted to having 'a few drinks' to settle his nerves before sharing the stage with Graeme Souness and Paolo Di Canio and footage from the event quickly went viral on social media. The following morning, after turning up for training at Dens Park, the ex-Hibs hit man was sent home by furious Dee boss James McPake, then saw his contract ripped up. Speaking on the latest edition of Open Goal, Cummings, now starring and winning multiple titles in India, lifted the lid on his feelings around the incident, and insisted he never wanted to leave Dundee. 'At the time at Dundee, I wasn't playing, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem,' he said. 'It was the next day when I went in. I was alright to train. But see if I'd never [been on stage at the Hydro], if I'd been in the house, nobody would have known. 'Because everyone saw it, Jazza [James McPake] was fuming. 'It's not a big deal. See if that was in Australia or somewhere like that, nothing would have happened. 'They all love all that stuff – off the pitch, do what you want, as long as you play at the weekend and you do well, you score, then it is what it is. 'When I left Dundee that time, when Jazza sent me home, my old man phoned me halfway through the drive home and he's like: 'What have you done? Have you been sent home?' 'It was in the paper before I even got home! That's what's killed me, it's not in-house, it's been in the paper that I've been let go. That killed me. 'I said to Dundee I didn't want to leave. I was happy. I was top scorer, training unreal, the best trainer, flying. 'But Jazza just made his mind up and that was it done. 'After that, with Australia, having two years there, then India, none of that would have happened otherwise, because I really did want to stay.' Cumming signed for Australian side Central Coast Mariners after leaving Dundee and was part of the Socceroos' squad for the World Cup in 2022. After helping the Mariners to glory in the A-League grand final in 2023, he moved to India with Kolkata-based Mohun Bagan, whom he helped to lift last season's ISL League Shield before claiming victory in the ISL grand final.

Celtic star Alistair Johnston aims cheeky dig at Kevin Bridges as he announces first American tour
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AFTER two-and-a-half years in Glasgow, Alistair Johnston is well-versed in Scottish slang and has had plenty of time to master the accent. But the Celtic right-back has warned comedian Kevin Bridges that he shouldn't expect the same from all North Americans. 2 Kevin Bridges is heading across the pond this year 2 Alistair Johnston won't be able to catch the comedian in his home city Credit: Kenny Ramsay Celtic-daft Bridges, 38, will head across the pond in September after announcing his first ever American tour on Saturday. Bridges will kick off the tour in Moncton, Canada on September 3 and will finish in Los Angeles on October 18. He's booked in for 20 shows across North America - 11 in Canada and nine in the USA. And the final night in Canada will take place in Johnston's home city, Vancouver, on September 21. The Canadian won't be able to attend the big night given the new football season will already be in full swing by then. Some of his friends and families could be, though, but Johnston admits many people will need subtitles to understand the legendary Scot's routine. Sharing a video on social media as he announced the big news, Bridges wrote on Instagram: "My first ever, EVER America and Canada tour on sale next week…Dates released on Monday." Johnston couldn't help himself as he replied: "🤣🤣 subtitles will be required." The Canadian, 26, wasted no time before trying to learn the Scottish lingo after he arrived in Glasgow in January 1. Just one month after joining he took to social media to reveal he was "taking Scottish lessons" - by watching Still Game. The diggers move in as Celtic Park pitch is dug up Earlier this year, he even revealed that he's tried Irn Bru - but it's not his drink of choice. He told Celtic TV: "I don't mind it. "I'm not going to say I'm a huge fan of it. "If I was to drink it, I'd have to say I need to drink it out of the can because I've seen a couple of people pour it into a glass and when you see the colour of it, it looks like something you'd put in your car."
