Furious Lorraine viewers 'turn off' and swipe 'her days are numbered' after catty remark about Love Islanders' looks and 'cringe' debate

Furious Lorraine viewers 'turned off' and swiped 'her days are numbered' after a catty remark about Love Islanders' looks on Thursday's episode of the ITV show.
The 65-year-old returned to our screens for another instalment of the popular early morning programme.
Lorraine was joined by Lucie Cave and influencer Emily Clarkson during the show to talk about a segment on the dangers online beauty filters - and they got chatting about ITV2's Love Island.
The broadcaster pointed out: 'I'm interested in programmes like Love Island...
'They to me, I have to say I don't watch it necessarily, but I see clips, it's inevitable to see clips.
'They all look the exactly the blinkin' same!

'I'm like why do you all want to look the same, why do you all want to have that same sort of look about you?
'Children, I mean they are in their 20s, and they're having work done.
'It's heart breaking. It's crazy.'
Love Island returned to our screens on Monday for its 12th series, with Maya Jama, 29, as host.
The revived series of the show premiered in 2015 and has gone on to become a fan favourite every summer.
During Thursday's instalment of Lorraine, some took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the episode.
After a chat with rapper AJ Tracey, 31, one said: 'Lorraine is so cringey had to turn it off #lorraine.'
Another chimed in: 'This interview is just [vomit emoji] get rid of her ffs!'
While others said: 'Two voices on #Lorraine that hurt my ears.'
'# lorraine Kelly 's days are numbered total fraudster.'
It comes after Lorraine fought back the tears as a guest interrupted their interview to pay an emotional tribute to her as a 'friend and ally' on Tuesday's episode of the show.
Author Paris Lees, 38, appeared on the ITV programme to chat to the Scottish star, 65, about her new BBC show What It Feels Like For A Girl, which is inspired by her own life.
The eight-part series hit our screens on June 3 2025.
During her appearance on Lorraine, the pair opened up about how proud she is of the show, but also wanted to thank the broadcaster for all her support towards the transgender community.
Paris, who is a trans woman, said to Lorraine: 'We see you and we really appreciate it, you really use your platform for good.'
An emotional Lorraine replied: 'You're going to make me cry.'
Paris told her: 'Honestly, not everyone is there speaking up for us. We're less than 0.5 percent of the population and we are under attack.
'You are using your platform for good and you are a friend.
'I should have brought some flowers or something. I hereby declare you an honorary diva.'
As she wiped a tear from her cheek, Lorraine said: 'I'll take that!'
'We thank you, we thank you,' Paris said.
Earlier on in the chat, Paris said: 'This is such a full circle moment for me, because you were so kind about the book last time I was on.
'I know you were saying it's got to be a TV show and now it is a TV show!'
Lorraine told her: 'We manifested it, Paris!'
Earlier on the chat, Paris said: 'This is such a full circle moment for me, because you were so kind about the book last time I was on. I know you were saying it's got to be a TV show and now it is a TV show!'
She continued: 'After I came on your show, did other publicity...
'It sounds like a humble brag, but I did have all these production companies get in contact with me.
'I just thought I'm ready to collapse in a heap, I've done all the photos and everything.
'And then They said do you want to develop it?
'I thought well it's my story, so I'd never done it before, very different type of writing, lots more people giving opinions.
'I'd never written a script before, I'd never had any aspirations or pretentions for writing for television.
'This is my story, I really wanted to rise to the challenge and do it justice.
'Can I tell you Lorraine, it's been so fun.'
Her memoir What It Feels Like For A Girl was released in 2021.
Earlier this week Lorraine was left squirming after a co-star bluntly asked her 'where have you been? '
After talking about the headlines over in the US, celebrity correspondent for LA Ross King asked her on Monday: 'Apart from all that, what about you, where have you been?!'
Lorraine replied: 'Oh I've been in the far north, I've been so far north I nearly came back on myself. I'll tell you all about it. I sadly can't say too much about it now.'
It comes after earlier this month Lorraine disappeared from our screens again after ditching her show amid huge cuts.
Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.

Paige Turley and Stevie Jukes are looking forward to bringing all the gossip from the Pride of Scotland red carpet

Love Island star and Saint Phnx singer can't wait to broadcast live from our People's Oscars. LOVE Island's Paige Turley and Saint Phnx's Stevie Jukes are used to gracing the red carpet but both agree no other awards show will ever top Pride of Scotland. The bubbly pair, who are red carpet hosts at Monday night's glittering event, will chat to the inspirational winners and celebrity guests as they make their way into Glasgow's Hilton for this year's star-studded ceremony. ‌ Paige and Stevie say they can't wait to bring the nation all the gossip and style live from the red carpet which promises to be one of the most star-studded yet. ‌ It's the first time Stevie, 40, who formed chart toppers Saint Phnx with brother Alan, 37, in 2016, has been on the other side of the mic but says he is suited and booted and raring to go. The dad-of-two, from Wishaw, North Lanarkshire, said: 'I'm buzzing about Monday night and have had my velvet jacket, shiny shoes and dickie bow looked out for weeks. 'My brother has been ribbing me about it and keeps saying things like 'Here comes big red carpet Steve.' He thinks he is hilarious but just wait until it's his turn to be interviewed! 'It's the first time I have ever done anything like this but I would love to work in radio so this will be good practice as I will have to think on my feet. 'You would think I would be nervous but I'm not. For the past year Alan and I have been doing workshops in schools and trying to sing on a Monday morning in a gold gym hall in front o0 kids pretty much prepares you for anything.' ‌ Stevie, whose new single 'Arabella' - a collaboration with singer Nathan Evans - is out next week, added: 'I'm really looking forward to working with Paige. We met at the Pride of Scotland awards a few years ago when Saint Phnx were performing and we hit it off right away. 'I've been given a sneak peak at all the winners and I can't wait to meet them on the red carpet and put a face to their names. 'The only thing I am a wee bit worried about is recognising the celebrities but I'll just give Paige a wee nudge and hopefully she will tell me who they are.' ‌ This is Paige's fourth year as red carpet host and the singer from Fauldhouse, West Lothian, is looking forward to teaming up with Stevie and being the ying to his yang. The 27-year-old, who co-hosted last year with Love Island's Laura Anderson, said: 'I'm excited about hosting with Stevie as he is a really lovely guy and hopefully we will compliment each other. 'I'm all about the style and fashion and he can talk to folk about other things. Our job is to put everyone at their ease because the red carpet can be a daunting place, especially for the winners. ‌ 'It's my absolutely favourite night of the year as the awards shine a light on people who have been doing so much for others but never seek any recognition.' Paige, who has been travelling all over Scotland with the Big Shiny Disco Brunch Crew, added: 'I'm bringing my dad with me again this year as he absolutely loves it. 'Two years ago he was carrying my handbag for me and his hero Graeme Souness came across to him and said 'Like your bag big man.' He was stoked. ‌ 'I'm also bringing my boyfriend Kieran with me. It will be his first time on a red carpet in Scotland and I know he is going to love it as much as I do.' From acts of kindness and selfless bravery to raising millions for charity, it's no wonder the Daily Record Pride of Scotland Awards with P&O Cruises is the People's Oscars. The combination of big hearts and big stars have made our annual awards, which began in 2020 and will once again be compared by Elaine C Smith and Sanjeev Kohli, a runaway success. ‌ Although Stevie, who is dad to Jacob, 18 and Charlie, nine, has never presented at the awards before he has performed twice and knows just how emotional the night can be. He says he will never forget meeting Child of Courage Zac Gunn, who sadly passed away earlier this month after receiving a long-awaited lung transplant. Stevie, whose single Happy Place - written after losing his dad to pulmonary fibrosis - topped the Scottish charts in 2021, said: 'That wee boy's cheeky smile will stay with me forever. He was such a funny wee guy and he had an aura which lit up the room. ‌ 'My wife is a neonatal midwife at Wishaw General and looked after Zac when he was born. We were both devastated when he passed away. 'We met him when he won his award and we have kept in touch with the family ever since. Like Zac, so many of the Pride of Scotland winners end up leaving a massive impression on your heart.' ‌ He added: 'Last year it was Lochlan Murdoch whose story really impressed me. The teenager has Type 1 diabetes and set up a charity to help educate sports teams and clubs about the condition. 'He's just a wee guy who has taken a difficult scenario in his life and done something positive about it to help others which I find really inspiring.' Paige, who won season six of Love Island with ex Finley Tapp, admits she will be stocking up on paper hankies before Monday as she always has a good greet. ‌ The singer, who is also a Pride of Scotland judge, said: 'I was blubbing in the judging room and I haven't even met the winners yet. 'So many of the unsung heroes have made a lasting impression on me. People like the beautiful little Mila Sneddon who battled leukaemia and won the heart of the Princess of Wales during lockdown. 'I also love the pure Scottishness of the winners. Where else in the world would you meet a granny who tackled a burglar and a wee pony wearing a kilt?' ‌ Stevie, who is working on a Collaboration album with Nathan Evans and is just back from a joint European tour, recalls the moment he met his hero Rangers goalie Allan McGregor. He said: 'As everyone knows Alan and I are massive Rangers fans. We met Greegsy at the awards a couple of years ago and ended up having a few drinks with him in the bar afterwards. 'My brother ended up getting Allan to take invisible penalties at him. We ended up becoming friends with him and he invited us into the box at his testimonial. ‌ 'We've been out with him a few times now he has publicly admitted Saint Phnx are his favourite band. I've gone to heaven with that one.' He added: 'Pride has become a very special part of my life and I am honoured to have been asked to be a part of it again this year. There's just something magical about the awards and I can't wait to pull on my suit and go red carpet live.' We launched our search for our local heroes of 2025 back in January and were inundated with thousands of nominations from across the nation. ‌ Categories include the Emergency Services Award, Teenager of Courage, Young Fundraiser, Outstanding Bravery, the King's Trust Young Achiever, Special Recognition and the P&O Cruises Inspiration Award. Stars who will be honouring the winners include Sheli McCoy aka Gladiator Sabre, singer Susan Boyle, Star Wars actor Denis Lawson, Braveheart star James Cosmo, singers Nathan Evans, Calum Bowie and Cammy Barnes and Strictly's JJ Chalmers and Dr Punam Krishan. ‌ Love Island's Laura Anderson will be manning the Pride of Scotland bar, First Minister John Swinney will be there to celebrate the best of Scotland and there will be a performance from Britain's Got Talent finalist Vinnie McKee.

Dua Lipa review — playing it safe at sold-out Wembley

Playing her largest ever headline concert at the first of two back-to-back hometown mega-shows, Dua Lipa strutted through a two-hour maximalist spectacular of costume changes, confetti blizzards and weapons-grade pyrotechnics as 90,000 screaming fans packed into a sold-out Wembley Stadium. This show boasted more sequins than stars in the Milky Way, a glittery catwalk parade of precisely engineered corsets, and the hardest working hair in showbusiness. Just enough glamazon razzle-dazzle, in fact, to elevate Lipa's oddly anodyne music, which remained in generic dance-pop mode for most of the evening. Plenty of killer outfits, too few killer tunes. Falling a year after the 29-year-old British-Albanian diva topped Glastonbury's main stage, these Wembley performances mark the British launch of Lipa's year-long Radical Optimism world tour, which kicked off in Australia last November. Divided into four acts, the set was sprinkled with tracks from the 2024 chart-topping album of the same name, which in fairness sounded more sparkly and dynamic than their studio versions, especially the opening stomper Training Season and the warmly melodic Falling Forever. In Taylor Swift fashion, Lipa has been punctuating this tour with bespoke cover versions that change every night, including a few guest duets featuring the original artists themselves. Having previously tackled classic crowd-pleasers by AC/DC, Kylie, Daft Punk and more, she called on Jay Kay of Jamiroquai for her Wembley debut. Now grey of stubble but still reliably goofy of headgear, Kay shared vocals on his vintage 1996 funk-pop hit Virtual Insanity. Anyone under the age of 40, which was most of the audience, appeared slightly baffled but cheered politely anyway. For a mainstream star with multiple global chart-toppers, three Grammy awards and billions in streaming sales, Lipa has an impressively rich cultural hinterland. Alongside the usual catalogue of luxury brand endorsements and charitable causes she also hosts a respected podcast interviewing authors, politicians, business leaders and fellow stars. She is commendably outspoken on politics, even contentious issues such as Israel and Palestine. Patti Smith recently endorsed Lipa as a feminist trailblazer, which is both surreal and sweet. The pity is that very little of this extra-curricular depth filtered through to her carefully polished stage persona in Wembley. Instead, Lipa peppered the set with bland boy-meets-girl lyrics, beaming selfies with fans and obligatory humble expressions of gratitude to the audience for making her teenage pop-star dreams come true. Which was charmingly soppy but, for such an obviously bright and engaged artist, dull to an almost calculated degree. After a dazzling, gravity-defying interlude on an elevated podium stage ringed by fire, Lipa galvanised herself for the finale with a disco-tastic medley of stronger tracks including her breakthrough hit New Rules, her Grammy-winning Barbie soundtrack contribution Dance the Night, and her almost-anthemic recent smash Houdini. In high-energy performance terms, she gave us everything. But in the confessional, funny, emotionally vulnerable terms that make good pop stars truly great, she gave us almost nothing. Businesslike to the last note, with an almost Tom Cruise-level of steely professionalism, the sense she left behind was a laser-focused star who knows how to work a room brilliantly, even when it's the biggest room in Britain.★★★☆☆Dua Lipa plays Wembley Stadium on Saturday, June 21, and Anfield Stadium in Liverpool on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 24 and 25.

Dua Lipa brings out Jamiroquai at emotional Wembley debut

Dua Lipa treated fans to a surprise appearance by Jamiroquai, as she played her first ever show at Wembley Stadium. Bringing out the band's frontman Jay Kay for a one-off performance of his 1996 hit Virtual Insanity, the star said he was 'a massive trailblazer for British music".Their performance came half-way through a stunning two-hour show, that saw Lipa tear through hits like Physical, One Kiss, New Rules and Levitating. 'This is such a massive, massive milestone for me,' she told her 70,000 fans. 'I've had a lump in my throat from the moment this show started.' Some dedicated fans had camped out since Thursday to see the singer's UK stadium debut, braving temperatures that exceeded 31C. 'It means the absolute world to me that you're here tonight,' she told them during the show. 'It feels like I've waited my whole life for this moment.' Reflecting on her ascent to the top tier of pop music, the 29-year-old added: 'It's been 10 years since our first ever London show, which happened to be about 350 people, and I dreamt of a night like this.''To be in front of 70,000 people. I'm so, so blown away." She then introduced one of her earliest singles, Hotter Than Hell, telling fans it was the track that had earned her a recording contract. Since then, she has stockpiled an enviable selection of armour-played hits, most of which got an airing on Friday night. The show began with a new-agey wash of ocean sounds, that segued seamlessly into her 2024 single, Training Season. Lipa sang the first verse slowly, over a sultry orchestral backing. But before long, the band kicked into gear, and the disco pulse barely let up for the next two hours. In many respects, the set played like an extended remix of her triumphant Glastonbury performance last year - full of pin-sharp choreography and fiercely futuristic pop. Her voice remains a strong point - resonant and flexible, with a hint of the rasp she inherited from her father, Albanian rock singer Dukajin Lipa. It was particularly effective on the cascading vocal runs of Falling Forever, and the Flamenco-flavoured Maria. Somehow, Lipa managed not to lose her breath, despite demanding, body-rolling dance routines that only occasionally recalled Jane Fonda's 1980s keep fit videos. She leaned into the schtick with an interlude instructing her fans to "move those hips" over the intro to Physical. Jay Kay arrived to a scream of recognition from older members of the audience, suited up in a tasseled white cowboy jacket and pink jeans. "What a privilege and an honour to be on stage with you," said the singer, before launching into Virtual Insanity - a song that became a hit when Dua was just one year songs, the star spent time getting personal with fans in the front row - borrowing their phones to pose for selfies, signing records (side note: who on earth brings a vinyl record to the front row of a stadium concert?) and even appropriating one person's scarf to accentuate her own stage outfit. It was a simple, but personal, touch that helped to illustrate why the star has become only the second British woman after Adele to headline Wembley Stadium. Watched from the stands by her family, including fiancé Callum Turner, she wrapped up the show with a flawless four-song encore that included some of her biggest hits: New Rules, Don't Start Now and Dance The finished with the psychedelic pop smash Houdini, ratcheting up the tension with a flurry of fireworks as she head-banged to a shredding guitar solo. Then the music suddenly stopped and she vanished in a cloud of smoke. A powerhouse performance from a star at the top of their game, it was proof that you don't need giant mechanical props or cutting edge video technology to pull off a compelling stadium show. Sometimes, the right songs, the right choreography and a generous helping of feel-good energy are enough. As an added bonus, that keeps the tickets affordable: The most expensive seats cost £155, compared to some stadium shows this summer, where prices have topped £900. Lipa continues her Radical Optimism tour with a second night at Wembley on Saturday, followed by dates in Liverpool and London before the North American leg kicks off in September.
