Lorraine Kelly recently shared her reaction to being sacked from GMTV more than 30 years ago.
The TV legend, 65, has been a staple on screens for four decades. From stints on GMTV to her self-titled ITV show, Lorraine – which has recently been slashed as part of a cost-cutting exercise – the presenter has remained booked and busy.
However, in 1994, Lorraine was issued a career blow when she was let go from GMTV – just weeks after giving birth to her daughter Rosie.

TV’s Lorraine Kelly on GMTV sacking
Lorraine was a regular on GMTV from 1993 to 2010 as one of the show’s main presenters. In 1994 though, she ended up getting sacked – only to return a year later. In a new interview, Lorraine reflected on being a freelancer in the TV industry
“You know what it’s like, I’m freelance, so you work from contract to contract and back then it was only a year’s contract,” she said on the Bedside Manners podcast with Morning Live’s Dr Oscar Duke earlier this week.
Talking about her GMTV axe, Lorraine added: “And I had Rosie on June the 8th and I was supposed to go back to work end of August, which didn’t give me much time off, but that was the way it was.”
