Gossiping with Lorraine Kelly
I interviewed Lorraine Kelly this week. And shock horror, I can report back she really is as nice as she is on the telly. She also seems to have the energy of a Duracell bunny. I used to think my commute on the Underground was bad enough, but Lorraine does it every week between her home in Dundee and London, where she works on LK Today. Seriously, I would have withered up and died years ago but it doesn’t seem to bother her. And, despite years of getting up at the crack of sparrows, there’s not an under-bag in sight. It’s not fair! By her own admission Lorraine can talk the hind leg off a donkey and we had a very enjoyable hour gossiping and putting the world to rights. At the end I gave her a signed copy of COUNTRY PURSUITS as a parting present, even though I was sure she was probably inundated with things to read. But the next day my old heat buddy Lucie Cave (who has been standing in for Richard Arnold on GMTV) saw The Kelly down at the studios and guess what? She loved it and had nearly finished it! As Stacey Turner might say, I am well chuffed – I wonder if she’s a Benedict or Jed fan?
Anyway, I must dash; I’ve got a book signing in the lovely seaside town of Mumbles tonight. They want me to read a passage out – I think it’s safe to say it won’t be the sex scene between Sebastian and Sabrina. I can see the headline now: ‘Author arrested for offending locals and outraging public decency..’
