Lorraine Kelly – How Scotland’s daytime queen almost never made it

NEW SERIES: Lorraine Kelly is the new host of Experience is Everything. Before taking over the microphone, Lorraine joins outgoing host Susie Dent for a special handover episode looking back on the highs, lows and surprises of more than 40 years in television. She reveals how she was told she’d never make it because of her Scottish accent, being dropped from GMTV during her maternity leave, and the extraordinary moments that shaped her career:  from reporting on national tragedies like Lockerbie and Dunblane to meeting some of the most famous people in the world. Plus, Lorraine opens up about life away from the cameras, becoming a grandmother and the recent loss of her father. Now, Lorraine reflects on what four decades in the spotlight have taught her and why she’s ready for her next chapter. Saga Insurance is exclusively designed for people over 50.
