Lorraine Kelly featured a segment today (March 3) on “ageing gracefully” alongside fashion director Anna Murphy.
While both Lorraine and her guest said that were making “no judgement” towards other women, the TV presenter faced backlash for her comments.
It came after Lorraine and Anna agreed that they didn’t think women should have “tweakments” and cosmetic enhancements.
Lorraine Kelly discussed ‘ageing naturally’ today
Lorraine and Anna used Madonna as an example when talking about women who have had cosmetic treatments.
She said: “Madonna said speculations about her looks at this year’s Grammys were fuelled by ageism and misogyny.”
Anna added: “The beauty industry says it’s a little bit here, and a little bit there. Madonna is just one example of the fact that’s not the way it ends.”
Lorraine then said: “Madonna’s succumbed to that. As we said, she’s Madonna, anyone can do what they like.”
“There’s always that tipping point. They go too far, or the surgeons go too far.”
The ITV presenter later referred to Madonna as a woman “getting it [ageing] wrong.”
