Lorraine Kelly shows off her real bikini body as she admits ‘I've got a belly'
LORRAINE Kelly showed off her real bikini body on her breakfast TV show. The star host was discussing the worries regarding beauty filters on photographs and how they can be used to digitally manipulate and alter how people look. 4 4 Lorraine, 65, was discussing the subject with Jeremy Clarkson's daughter, Emily, who is known for her body positivity on social media. And the segment led to Lorraine showing off her own 'real' bikini body in which she admitted: "I've got a belly!" The star showed off her skin in the white two-piece snap taken as she took a dip in a swimming pool during a recent holiday getaway. In order to demonstrate just how easy it is to edit images, a side-by-side image of Lorraine's real body next to her altered bikini snap was flashed up on the screen. The edited image heavily slimmed down the star and added more definition to her stomach area as well as a much fuller bust and smoother skin. Laughing at the changes, Lorraine squawked: "It just shows you what you can do now. "It depends on what you're using it for. They did it with me, and I looked at it, and I actually laughed! "I thought, crikey!" Looking back at the unedited image, Lorraine quipped: "That's more kind of normal, I've got a belly, who hasn't?" The ITV star is no stranger to stripping off and regularly wears just a bikini for an open-water swim. Lorraine Kelly struggles to keep straight face in most bizarre interview to date In December last year, she proudly flaunted her figure as she took a dip in the cold Scottish sea. Her wild swim came as she celebrated the success of her novel, The Island Swimmer. 4 4

Tributes paid to Britons feared killed in Air India plane crash
Fiongal and Jamie Greenlaw-Meek, who run a spiritual wellness centre, were said to be among the dead. The pair laughed and joked as they filmed a video of themselves at the airport before taking off. (PA Graphics) In an earlier Instagram post they told of their 'mind-blowing' trip to India and their intention to make a vlog about it. Mr Greenlaw is said to have appeared on ITV's This Morning earlier this year to talk about wellness. Former editor of the show Martin Frizell praised his 'vibrancy' and 'enthusiasm'. 'So so sad to hear that Fiongal Greenlaw Meek and his partner are reported to be among the passengers and crew killed today on board the Air India flight bound for Gatwick,' he said in an Instagram post. 'I remember his visit to the studio in January, he was passionate about auras and although I'm a sceptical sort his vibrancy and sheer enthusiasm won folk over. 'And I know for a fact that he hoped to use his appearance on This Morning to build his wellness brand, he had a great future ahead of him. 'Thoughts are with his family and friends and those of his partner Jamie.' The Greenlaw-Meeks were running the Wellness Foundry in London, which offers psychic readings, tarot, reiki and yoga. The firm is included in Time Out's top places in the capital for tarot readings. The Wellness Foundry also has a podcast called Spirit Level, which the website says is a 'guiding light on the journey to holistic well-being and spiritual enlightenment'. The Gloucester Muslim Community group offered 'sincere and deepest condolences' after Akeel Nanabawa, his wife Hannaa and their daughter Sara were reported to be among the victims. 'During this moment of overwhelming sorrow, our hearts go out to all those left behind,' a statement said. 'No words can truly ease the pain of such a profound loss, but we pray that the family may find solace in the tremendous outpouring of compassion and solidarity from communities across the world.' Raj Mishra, the mayor of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, called for people to come together as he announced the deaths of three people from his community. 'Among those lost were Raxa Modha, infant Rudra Modha, and Ms K Mistri, all from our Wellingborough community,' he said. 'I extend my deepest condolences to their families, friends and all those affected by this heartbreaking event. 'May their memories be a blessing, and may we come together to support one another in this time of grief.' Briton Vishwash Kumar Ramesh, 40, is believed to be the only survivor of the crash. Speaking outside the family home in Leicester, his brother, Nayan Kumar Ramesh, 27, said: 'We were just shocked as soon as we heard it. 'I last spoke to him yesterday morning. We're devastated, just devastated. 'He said, 'I have no idea how I exited the plane'.' Mr Ramesh's older brother Ajay was also aboard the flight. Another of Mr Ramesh's relatives, Jay, said the survivor spoke to his father after the crash and asked after his brother. Jay told PA: 'After the crash he spoke to his dad worrying about his brother saying, 'Where's Ajay'?'
