WHO’S LORRAINE? Boris throws shade at the ‘actress’ that is Lorraine Kelly 

PRIME Minister Boris Johnson threw shade at Lorraine Kelly earlier today. 

The Scots breakfast telly host has been a vocal critic of the Prime Minister on her ITV show.  

Before his grilling by Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain – Lorraine joked that the team at GMB had “finally” coaxed him out of the fridge.

Leftie Lorraine faced criticism after it was revealed a few years ago that she had claimed to be an ‘actress’ with an on-air persona in the entertainment industry rather than a direct ITV employee, and that all parts of her ITV show were “a performance”, in a £1.2 million tax battle with HMRC.

After the grilling by Susanna Reid in which the PM made a gaffe about pensioners riding round on buses with a free bus pass to stay warm, Susanna wrapped the interview by saying that she had to hand it over to Lorraine. 

The PM smirked and said: “who’s Lorraine?” 

“Who’s Lorraine? Lorraine is a legend!” Reid fired back.

Kelly later thanked viewers for their messages and said: “Why should he know who I am? He is busy in the morning. He wouldn’t be watching us, although he could learn a lot, as you know.”

She added: “Lots of people have said that he has lost votes. He hasn’t lost votes just because he doesn’t know who I am. But very, very, very funny.

“And lots of you saying that all the civil servants working from home will be going ‘eek’ because they are all watching the show.”
