Lorraine Kelly accidentally brushes her teeth with washing powder while husband Steve Smith brands the couple 'mingin' as they leave luxuries behind for Zimbabwe camping trip
Lorraine Kelly and husband Steve Smith have left luxuries behind for their picturesque Zimbabwe camping trip. But despite being left 'mingin' as they roughed it, the broadcaster, 65, and her partner of 33-years, appeared to love every moment as they got up close and personal with hippopotamuses and crocodiles. One mishap while travelling in their camper saw Lorraine accidentally brush her teeth with 'travel wash' while Steve, who shares daughter Rosie, 31, with his wife, joked the pair's equal stenches were 'cancelling each other out'. Taking to his Instagram he shared a clip of the getaway as the couple dined outdoors and enjoyed the scenery before bedding down in their van. Steve captioned the video: 'Another great day at mana pools. One of us brushed their teeth with travel wash ( no me ) before we set off the see what we could find'. 'Lots@of ele's antelopes, warthogs, jackals, hippos and crocs. The wild dogs have moved on and we never saw lions but we heard them in the night. Kept me awake!'. He went on: 'We're both so mingin now but at least we're cancelling each other out! Finally getting used to the 4WD with the funny wee second gear lever and the hub locks. Early night , up in the tent at 6 like toddlers before the bitey things come out of the bush ' While Lorraine commented: 'To be fair the travel wash was in the same wash at as the toothpaste and both tubes the same size'. Steve has famously stayed out of the spotlight and in his wife's shadow, with Lorraine joking 'his idea of hell would be a premiere' - but he understands the demands of her role in the entertainment world. She previously told The Mirror: 'He picks up the slack and always has. I couldn't do what I do if it weren't for him. He makes me laugh an awful lot. He's very kind and a brilliant dad.' Lorraine added: 'His idea of hell on earth would be at something like a premiere. It would be like having needles stuck in his eyes. That does help. It must be very odd being with someone who enjoys walking down a red carpet.' The host also lauded her partner for his support when she was going through perimenopause. She said: 'It was absolutely horrible. I completely lost myself. My husband didn't know what was going on. He said, "what can I do, how can I help?" It was him who said, "you have to get some help."' In 2021, Lorraine gave a rare insight to her marriage with Steve, revealing their sex life is ' toddling along nicely '. While Lorraine commented: 'To be fair the travel wash was in the same wash at as the toothpaste and both tubes the same size' The daytime television presenter said the secret to keeping intimacy alive is 'having confidence in yourself, adding that 'a lot of older women can feel invisible'. 'It is all about being confident in yourself. A lot of older women can feel invisible, but I don't', she told the Mirror. It comes after Lorraine reportedly signed a major deal with ITV rival Channel 4 for a huge budget travel series after her daytime show was hit by brutal cuts. The Scottish presenter's morning show has also seen her key production role, Head of Lorraine be axed, according to The Sun On Sunday. And this is just the latest in a series of blows for the show, as the year-round hour-long show was reduced to just 30 weeks of 30-minute slots from next year. Lorraine first joined ITV in 1984 and has appeared on many flagship shows including GMB alongside Eamonn Holmes. A source told the publication: 'Channel 4 were delighted to have Lorraine on board. It was exciting for Lorraine to do something different and be on location again. 'Despite the apparent slight in the ITV daytime shake-up, Lorraine's loyal fanbase isn't to be underestimated and they will follow her wherever she goes. The source continued and claimed she is 'gutted' over the cuts and is now 'opening her eyes' to upcoming options in the industry. An ITV spokesperson told MailOnline: 'We have always said that from January 2026, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be three editorially distinct shows which will be produced by one team. 'These changes are not about the performance of the shows or the staff who produce them, with Lorraine only last month achieving its highest audience share in four years. 'We can assure our viewers that their favourite daytime shows will remain familiar to them on screen."

Astronauts need clean water. That's an engineering challenge.
When you're on a camping trip, you might have to pack your own food, and maybe something to filter or treat water that you find. But imagine your campsite is in space, where there's no water, and packing jugs of water would take up room when every inch of cargo space counts. That's a key challenge engineers faced when designing the International Space Station.
