Lorraine Kelly's secret about Buckingham Palace visit
The Gorbals TV presenter made the admission during a discussion about a viral video filmed inside the palace by reality TV couple Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo.
Their clip, which appeared to parody Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent Baby Mama dance video, drew criticism for violating the palace's strict no-filming policy.
While describing the video as 'a bit naughty', the morning TV presenter confessed that she too had once bent the rules during her own royal visit.

ITV's Political Editor, Paul Brand, commented: "I mean, they were breaking protocol. I personally feel that, as a very aggrieved news broadcaster, if I did that, I'd definitely be off to the tower.
"They've got really strict rules about filing in Buckingham Palace, and then if you're an influencer, you can get away with it! You can get away with anything. I hear that you got away with it, Lorraine?"
To which Lorraine jokingly responded: "Well, I may or may not have taken a sneaky photograph. I'll tell you for why, that painting reminded me so much of Joe Lycett! I had to take a picture because that's Joe Lycett! He's had another life."

The morning star added: 'I know I'm not supposed to do that.
'I'll get into trouble. I shan't ever do it again.'
One of her guests asked whether she had been reprimanded for the photo, to which Lorraine replied: 'No, I don't think they knew… well, they do now, so I'm in trouble!'
It turns out this wasn't Lorraine's only brush with royal protocol — she once posed with TV editor Victoria Kennedy in the grand hallway of the palace and shared the photo on Instagram.
