Lorraine Kelly left squirming as co-star bluntly asks her 'where have you been?' after MORE time off show
Lorraine Kelly was left squirming as a co-star bluntly asked her 'where have you been?' on Monday's episode of the programme after MORE time off from the show. Right after explaining to viewers what they could expect from today's (9 June 2025) instalment, the 65-year-old introduced her celebrity correspondent for LA Ross King to the show, live from America. Lorraine said: 'Ross is in Los Angeles for us later Ross. Crickey! It's tough times over there...' Ross explained that he would be touching upon the current riots in LA, as well as the relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Referencing her latest bout of absence, he quipped: '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. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the. Lorraine Kelly was left squirming as co-star bluntly asks her 'where have you been?' after MORE time off show 'I'll tell you all about it. I sadly can't say too much about it now. 'In a few weeks, I might be able to give you more hints. 'I can even show you some photos, it was life changing and amazing. 'I'll phone you later and tell you all about it.' It comes after earlier this month Lorraine disappeared from our screens again after ditching her show amid huge cuts. The star took to Instagram on Sunday to share her exciting new project that she will be working on this week - meaning that she wouldn't be presenting her daily self-named programme. Lorraine said: 'Hi there! I'm in the land of the midnight sun. It's absolutely glorious. 'It's a project that I have wanted to do for years and years and finally it is actually happening. 'I'm heading really, really far north. 'It is going to be amazing and I will tell you all about it when I am back. 'I'm back a week tomorrow (Monday) and I will see you then. 'Wish me luck.' She captioned the post: 'BIG FILMING ADVENTURES!!!! 'Heading to the very far north - it's going to be amazing - see you in a week's time! #happy #arctic #filming #adventures #exploration #joy.' Over the past year Lorraine has hit headlines after disappearing from our screens a number of times. And so much so that TWO X accounts have been made about her when she is missing from the programme. Christine Lampard, 46, and Ranvir Singh, 47, step in when she cannot present the show. Last month it was revealed that Loose Women and Lorraine have been AXED for half the year - as ITV announce a big shake up to its daytime schedule. Just last week she revealed that she's 'not done yet' as she appeared to hit back at rumours her show will be cut for good. Speaking on the Tom Kerridge on the Proper Tasty podcast: '40 years in TV last year was incredible. I got a BAFTA. "Here's a BAFTA for being alive." I thought, "Hang on a minute, I'm not done yet".'

‘AI-scientist' discovers that common medication could kill cancer cells
Commonly used non-cancer drugs could help in the treatment of the disease, an 'AI-scientist' has discovered. It seems that technology is reaching new heights, as an AI-powered 'scientist' has made a significant discovery. Working alongside human researchers, the AI model GPT-4 (not to be confused with ChatGPT) has suggested that combinations of cheap and safe drugs could also be effective at treating cancer. The research team, led by the University of Cambridge, used the GPT-4 large language model (LLM) to sift through extensive heaps of scientific literature in order to identify potential new cancer drugs. It was found that drugs for conditions such as high cholesterol and alcohol dependence could potentially kill cancer cells, in research results published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface. The researchers asked GPT-4 to identify potential new drug combinations that could have an impact on a type of breast cancer cell which is commonly used in medical research. They instructed the 'AI scientist' to avoid standard cancer drugs and identify medications that would attack cancer cells without harming healthy cells. They also prompted the AI model to prioritise drugs that were affordable and approved by regulators. When GPT-4 had made its suggestions, the chosen drugs were then tested by human scientists to measure their effectiveness against breast cancer cells. It was found that three of the 12 drug combinations suggested by GPT-4 worked better than current breast cancer drugs. The AI model then learned from these tests and suggested a further four combinations, three of which also showed promising results. Simvastatin (commonly used to lower cholesterol) and disulfiram (used in alcohol dependence) stood out against breast cancer cells. And while these drugs are not traditionally associated with cancer care, they could be used as potential cancer treatments- although they would first have to go through extensive clinical trials. The researchers have emphasised that AI is not a replacement for scientists, but that supervised AI researchers have the potential to accelerate discovery in areas like cancer research. Models like GPT-4 have been known to return results that aren't true. But in scientific research, these incorrect suggestions, which are known as hallucinations, can still lead to new ideas that are worth testing. 'Supervised LLMs offer a scalable, imaginative layer of scientific exploration, and can help us as human scientists explore new paths that we hadn't thought of before,' said Professor Ross King from Cambridge's Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, who led the research. 'This is not automation replacing scientists, but a new kind of collaboration,' added co-author Dr Hector Zenil from King's College London. 'Guided by expert prompts and experimental feedback, the AI functioned like a tireless research partner—rapidly navigating an immense hypothesis space and proposing ideas that would take humans alone far longer to reach. 'This study demonstrates how AI can be woven directly into the iterative loop of scientific discovery, enabling adaptive, data-informed hypothesis generation and validation in real time."
