Lorraine Kelly has had an incredible year so far, but has no plans to retire from her ITV show after 40 years in the industry, as she continues to celebrate with her new book
Lorraine Kelly has spoken out about retirement thoughts following a remarkable career milestone. Celebrating 40 glorious years in showbiz, Lorraine's been on fire lately, marking the year with a new book release, embracing the joy of becoming a grandmother to baby Billie, and nabbing BAFTA's top tribute for her stellar impact on broadcasting.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, she spilled: "I've always said if the day comes when I think I don't really want to go to work, I will stop." The likes of Good Morning Britain's Susanna Reid and old colleague Piers Morgan heaped praises on her. Piers summed it up nicely: "Lorraine is an iron first in a velvet glove. She creates a persona that people think is very benign, very nice, very smiley but underneath it is a proper journalist."
Discussing the challenges she's faced, Lorraine revealed she was once told her working-class Glasgow accent would prevent her from succeeding in TV. Reflecting on this, she said: "It was actually the best thing that could have happened: that comment spurred me to phone the boss of the relatively new breakfast TV station TV- am, who asked me to come down for an interview and then hired me as Scottish correspondent .
