ITV Lorraine Kelly suffers embarrassing blunder

Lorraine was left red-faced during today’s edition of her self-titled show when her phone went off while live on air.

The star’s phone started pinging during a discussion on Donald Trump’s UK state visit.

As Lorraine gushed over how “fantastic” she thought Kate Middleton looked during yesterday’s meeting with Trump, Lorraine was interrupted by notifications going off on her phone.

“Is that George Clooney again? Honestly, he just won’t leave me alone! I don’t think it is,” she joked.

‘How strange’

“I’m so glad it’s not me,” Jo Elvin laughed in relief.

“I always put my phone on airplane mode, how very strange!” she then laughed.

Lorraine and her co-stars seemed to find the situation funny, but some viewers didn’t.

“@lorraine how very unprofessional..why on earth has Lorraine even got her mobile phone on set..this isn’t the first time her phone has gone off…so bloody unprofessional,” one fumed on social media.
