Furious Lorraine viewers 'turn off' and swipe 'her days are numbered' after catty remark about Love Islanders' looks and 'cringe' debate
Furious Lorraine viewers 'turned off' and swiped 'her days are numbered' after a catty remark about Love Islanders' looks on Thursday's episode of the ITV show. The 65-year-old returned to our screens for another instalment of the popular early morning programme. Lorraine was joined by Lucie Cave and influencer Emily Clarkson during the show to talk about a segment on the dangers online beauty filters - and they got chatting about ITV2's Love Island. The broadcaster pointed out: 'I'm interested in programmes like Love Island... 'They to me, I have to say I don't watch it necessarily, but I see clips, it's inevitable to see clips. 'They all look the exactly the blinkin' same! From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'I'm like why do you all want to look the same, why do you all want to have that same sort of look about you? 'Children, I mean they are in their 20s, and they're having work done. 'It's heart breaking. It's crazy.' Love Island returned to our screens on Monday for its 12th series, with Maya Jama, 29, as host. The revived series of the show premiered in 2015 and has gone on to become a fan favourite every summer. During Thursday's instalment of Lorraine, some took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the episode. After a chat with rapper AJ Tracey, 31, one said: 'Lorraine is so cringey had to turn it off #lorraine.' Another chimed in: 'This interview is just [vomit emoji] get rid of her ffs!' While others said: 'Two voices on #Lorraine that hurt my ears.' '# lorraine Kelly 's days are numbered total fraudster.' It comes after Lorraine fought back the tears as a guest interrupted their interview to pay an emotional tribute to her as a 'friend and ally' on Tuesday's episode of the show. Author Paris Lees, 38, appeared on the ITV programme to chat to the Scottish star, 65, about her new BBC show What It Feels Like For A Girl, which is inspired by her own life. The eight-part series hit our screens on June 3 2025. During her appearance on Lorraine, the pair opened up about how proud she is of the show, but also wanted to thank the broadcaster for all her support towards the transgender community. Paris, who is a trans woman, said to Lorraine: 'We see you and we really appreciate it, you really use your platform for good.' An emotional Lorraine replied: 'You're going to make me cry.' Paris told her: 'Honestly, not everyone is there speaking up for us. We're less than 0.5 percent of the population and we are under attack. 'You are using your platform for good and you are a friend. 'I should have brought some flowers or something. I hereby declare you an honorary diva.' As she wiped a tear from her cheek, Lorraine said: 'I'll take that!' 'We thank you, we thank you,' Paris said. Earlier on in the chat, Paris said: 'This is such a full circle moment for me, because you were so kind about the book last time I was on. 'I know you were saying it's got to be a TV show and now it is a TV show!' Lorraine told her: 'We manifested it, Paris!' Earlier on the chat, Paris said: 'This is such a full circle moment for me, because you were so kind about the book last time I was on. I know you were saying it's got to be a TV show and now it is a TV show!' She continued: 'After I came on your show, did other publicity... 'It sounds like a humble brag, but I did have all these production companies get in contact with me. 'I just thought I'm ready to collapse in a heap, I've done all the photos and everything. 'And then They said do you want to develop it? 'I thought well it's my story, so I'd never done it before, very different type of writing, lots more people giving opinions. 'I'd never written a script before, I'd never had any aspirations or pretentions for writing for television. 'This is my story, I really wanted to rise to the challenge and do it justice. 'Can I tell you Lorraine, it's been so fun.' Her memoir What It Feels Like For A Girl was released in 2021. Earlier this week Lorraine was left squirming after a co-star bluntly asked her 'where have you been? ' After talking about the headlines over in the US, celebrity correspondent for LA Ross King asked her on Monday: 'Apart from all that, what about you, where have you been?!' Lorraine replied: 'Oh I've been in the far north, I've been so far north I nearly came back on myself. I'll tell you all about it. I sadly can't say too much about it now.' It comes after earlier this month Lorraine disappeared from our screens again after ditching her show amid huge cuts. Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
