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." In a touching gesture, Paris said: "I should have brought some flowers or something. I hereby declare you an honorary diva.", reports the Mirror. Visibly touched, Lorraine was seen dabbing her eyes as she gratefully accepted the praise: "I'll take that!". As conversations around ITV cuts unfold, with plans to reduce her show's airtime significantly floating around, Lorraine seemed to send a bold message to ITV chiefs about the future of her daytime slot, having only last week revealed her thoughts on the Proper Tasty podcast with Tom Kerridge. She reflected on her enduring career, saying: "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.'". "I think now I can be a lot cheekier. Because I've always been a bit naughty. Not so much in the morning, but if I do a wee show on Channel 4, or The Last Leg, or something like that. You can be unleashed. And I quite like that. You do have to have a self-edit button, and I'm finding mine is not operating as much as it should." In other news, ITV has just launched a spanking new channel this week, despite recently implementing several cuts to its Daytime schedule. The broadcaster introduced ITV Quiz – a channel wholly devoted to showcasing a variety of ITV quiz programmes such as Lingo, Tipping Point, Wheel of Fortune, Tenable, Deal or No Deal, and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
