ITV star Lorraine Kelly made a sweet show admission on Wednesday as she shared some royal news
Lorraine Kelly shared some "exciting royal news" on her show on Wednesday (April 30).
During today's episode of ITV's Lorraine, the host revealed that the Change and Check choir had been invited to perform for King Charles at Buckingham Palace this evening.
‌
The Change and Check campaign, led by the daytime presenter, aims to raise awareness about breast cancer signs and symptoms, urging women to regularly and properly check their chests.
‌
The campaign also encourages people to seek medical advice if they notice any changes and educates women on what changes to be vigilant for.
The choir is composed of breast cancer survivors, many of whom were screened for cancer after seeing the campaign on Lorraine.
After discussing the Prince and Princess of Wales ' visit to the Isle of Mull with royal correspondent Russell Myers, Lorraine confirmed that she also had some "exciting royal news" to share.
"As you know, for the past six years, our Change and Check campaign has been highlighting the signs and the symptoms of breast cancer. And so far, over 100 women and one man have contacted us to say that they received a diagnosis, an early one, thanks to our campaign," Lorraine explained.
"Well, as you know, 26 of those women teamed up to form our Change and Check choir and they've now topped the download charts twice."
‌
The choir first topped the chart with their debut hit Golden, which was performed alongside Joss Stone, reports the Daily Record.
The choir soared to the top of the charts once more at the end of last year with Wet Wet Wet's Marti Pellow, after they released a heartfelt cover of Love Is All Around.
‌
"We even got to sing at the Royal Variety Performance, which I still can't believe that actually happened. And now, King Charles and Queen Camilla have invited our choir to perform at Buckingham Palace tonight during a special reception," Lorraine continued.
"It's all about organisations who help raise awareness of cancer, and help people with cancer."
While appearing on Good Morning Britain earlier in the morning, Lorraine admitted that she was "nervous" and "apprehensive" ahead of the event.
Passing the baton, the host then introduced Dr Amir Khan and ITV producer Helen Addis, who was instrumental in launching the campaign following her breast cancer diagnosis.
Throughout its journey, the choir has welcomed a roster of celebrities to perform with them, including Victoria Derbyshire, Amy Dowden, Charlene White, Claire Sweeney, and Gaby Roslin.
