ITV Lorraine presenter Lorraine Kelly looked back on a segment from her chat show over 10 years ago, where she danced in a bikini live on air
Lorraine Kelly returned to our screens with a fresh episode of her ITV chat show on Thursday (12 June), where she chatted with celebs and delved into the latest entertainment gossip.
The beloved TV host tackled a range of topics, including the potentially harmful effects of social media filters on self-perception.
Joining Lorraine was Emily Clarkson, Jeremy Clarkson’s daughter, who is known for her candid Instagram posts about body positivity.
In a revealing segment, they displayed a photo of Lorraine in a bikini next to an altered version, highlighting the drastic changes that filters and editing can impose on images.
“It just shows you what you can do now,” Lorraine declared, recalling her initial reaction to the edited image, reports the Express.
She laughed off the transformation, saying, “It depends on what you’re using it for. They did it with me, and I looked at it, and I actually laughed! I thought, crikey!”
Lorraine pointed out the authenticity of the original photo, commenting: “That’s more kind of normal, I’ve got a belly, who hasn’t?”
She explained that the process involved perfecting the skin tone before “pulling you in”, while Emily remarked on how “too easy” it is to manipulate photos nowadays.
Lorraine also reminisced about a memorable moment from over a decade ago when she famously wore a bikini and danced with her co-stars live on her show.
She humorously confessed to slathering herself in fake tan for the filming, chuckling about her unsullied on-screen appearance: “I did lather on the fake tan, and, as you can see, I was the colour of a satsuma!”.
The beloved TV presenter couldn’t help but laugh as she expressed disbelief at her participation in the recently discussed segment.
Lucie Cave, who was present with the pair, praised Lorraine for her staunch stance against using filters, highlighting how she was a “champion” of natural beauty during a period when airbrushing and editing images were commonplace.
