Lorraine is noted as a top columnist for her weekly opinion column in the Scottish Post and has gone on to write for the Sun newspaper – covering health, fitness and lifestyle. In addition, commitment and devotion from fans has Lorraine also writing as best magazine’s very own “agony aunt.”

This huge popularity has seen her frequently appear on celebrity quiz shows and chat shows including Question Time, The Kumars, John Daly Show, So Graham Norton, The Frank Skinner Show, Blankety Blank, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Have I Got News For You.

She is one of Britain’s most versatile broadcasters. Not only at home with news reporting, had she covered Piper Alpha and Lockerbie while working as TV-AM's Scotland correspondent. She can also handle sensitive human interest stories, showbiz chat on the sofa, as well as massive outside broadcasts. Humbled by motherhood, Lorraine manages to keep relative by hosting programmes such as Sky’s DNA Stories and Missing Children.

Her career began in print journalism, taking a spot at East Kilbride News straight from school. Until the birth of her daughter Rosie in 1994, Lorraine presented GMTV's 7 to 9am slot.

From 1989 to 1992 Lorraine was the station's main presenter taking over the role from Anne Diamond. With TV-AM's demise, the transition to GMTV was not as predictable as was imagined. Lorraine was approached by Bazal Productions, an independent production company who had commissioned independent research to find the star presenter of the station's new women's show Top of the Morning. The research, which is proprietorial, sought to arrive at spontaneous recall of the presenters most admired or respected by a cross section of women, from a variety of social economic and regional groups.

The highest scoring individually recalled was Lorraine Kelly. With the immediate falling ratings of the new station, Lorraine was brought from top of the morning to become the saving face of GMTV.

Lorraine was awarded the accolade of best new talent, by The Television and Radio Industry Club and received praise for her live broadcasts for GMTV after the Dunblane tragedy.

Lorraine's new show for the Bio Channel - Lorraine Kelly's Big Fat Challenge sees her working with a family who were rechristened Britain's laziest family. Lorraine and her team attempt to whip them into shape by revolutionising their lifestyle through diet and exercise.
