Lorraine Kelly, the presenter of ITV, opened up about her most recent project while hosting her morning show and explained why fans will be able to see her “very different” side.
Lorraine Kelly has said she became “very emotional” while filming her new Channel 4 show. In the three-part documentary, the 66-year-old ditches the ITV studio for a breathtaking adventure in Norway.
From fishing for cod, to goat massages and swimming in icy waters, Lorraine shows fans her more adventurous side as she throws herself into the local culture.
The presenter explained why one of her show’s highlights caused her to feel particularly emotional.
My dad would have been proud to have caught a large cod on my first try, she said. And watching sea eagles closely affected my emotional state.
I enjoyed getting to know the Sami people and their customs. And yes, I’ve gotten goat massage all the time!
Fans will see her in a “very different” way, according to Lorraine, who revealed how the show differs from her morning chat show.
She added to Closer Magazine, “It’s just me, no make-up, hair all over the place, and occasionally a little sweary!”
I’ve always wanted to do a travel show, so I finally had to jump in the cold water and help muck out a farm.
Lorraine will meet people along her travels who are preserving the rich history of Norway through folktales and Nordic tales, and she will also get a chance to taste the regional produce and specialties.
The TV personality plans to travel north along the coast to experience the beauty of the region’s natural ecosystem, including whales and eagles, in hopes that her journey will culminate with an aurora borealis spectacle.
Lorraine’s new venture comes as her ITV show’s major overhaul approaches. The program will air fewer episodes and be shorter, as part of a scheduling change.
The shake-up also impacts other morning shows, with Good Morning Britain extended by 30 minutes and Loose Women continuing on a seasonal basis without a live audience.
Reflecting on the changes, Lorraine previously told Woman magazine: “It’s a different world we live in, isn’t it?
Because I believe in reality, I was aware of the need for adjustments and reductions. Television must cut its own slack in every department because there are now so many more outlets. It’s not what it once was.
The mother-of-one maintains optimism about what the future holds despite the restructuring.
Who knows what will happen in six months, she said, “This is just another change.” They might want to expand, but they might not. Who is aware?
We just let it go and see what happens because I love my job and I love working with these incredible people. Nothing can ever remain motionless.
Meanwhile, Lorraine has turned her talents to writing in recent years, releasing her debut novel, The Island Swimmer, in 2024. In recent interviews, she has confirmed that more writing projects are on the way. Over the festive period, she also stood in for Jeremy Vine to present his BBC Radio 2 show.
