Loaded Sista at Lorraine

Lorraine is an early weekday morning, lifestyle and entertainment show for ITV, presented by Lorraine Kelly with Rochelle Humes as the main stand-in presenter, temporarily, whilst Christine Lampard, is on maternity leave. ITV Breakfast produces Lorraine, which airs every weekday from 08:30 until 09:25, following Good Morning Britain. The programme is a continuation of Kelly's previous show, GMTV with Lorraine, which started in 1993.

As of 2018 the show has been sponsored by dairy product company Onken.

Format

Each day the presenter gives an introduction into what's coming up on the show, before discussing the main stories from the morning's newspapers. Sometimes this is replaced by a showbiz update from Dan Wootton and a Los Angeles update from Ross King. The show's first guests tend to be interviewed next. The chef who is appearing that week then cooks their dish for the day. Throughout the show more guests are interviewed as well as regulars such as Mark Heyes and Dr. Hilary Jones appear with fashion and health slots, respectively. The competition that runs on Good Morning Britain also appears throughout the show.

Launch

The first edition of Lorraine aired on Monday 6 September 2010. A preview on Daybreak revealed the new studio look as spacious and coloured in a variety of pastel hues and decorative motifs dominated by pink. The sofa for the presenter and guests was pink and arranged in a semicircle around a central internally lit coffee table similar to that used for Daybreak. Lorraine's first guest was actress Gemma Arterton. The first programme also featured an interview with Sky News reporter Sarah Parish[2] and a recipe by TV chef James Tanner while Celia Walden[3] and Kevin Maguire[4] reviewed the morning's newspapers.

Lorraine Kelly was unable to present the show due to a horse accident on 21 February 2012, guest presenters then presented her show instead,[6][7] and after recovering she returned on 16 April 2012. Guest presenters during this time included Helen Fospero, Jackie Brambles, Nadia Sawalha and Fiona Phillips.

On 28 August 2012, it was announced that Lorraine Kelly would now additionally present sister programme Daybreak from Monday to Thursday,[8][9][10] with Kate Garraway her deputy[11] and presenting in place of Kelly each Friday.[12]

In February 2014, it was announced that Lorraine Kelly would present Lorraine five days a week. However her deputy presenter Kate Garraway left Lorraine as host of Friday shows on 25 April 2014 as Lorraine Kelly will be now committed to hosting Lorraine five days-a-week, including the Friday morning shows. This change took place on 28 April 2014. It was then confirmed that Lorraine Kelly would be moving to Lorraine full-time once Good Morning Britain had launched, following the launch ITV revamped the show following the start of Good Morning Britain.

In 2015, after deputy presenter Kate Garraway left the show to work on Good Morning Britain. Gaby Roslin took over as deputy presenter of the show and Fiona Phillips also returned as a regular relief presenter.

Through the summer of 2017, Lorraine Kelly's summer break was shorter. Deputy presenter Christine Lampard presented for three weeks (31 July – 18 August). Following this, Lorraine went on a broadcast break for two weeks from 21 August to allow minor upgrades in its facilities. While Lorraine Kelly took her leave, Good Morning Britain temporarily extended their show to 9:30am for their summer filler programme called GMB Today. When Lorraine returned there was no longer a kitchen on the set, therefore the chefs did not return.

Deputy presenter Christine Lampard presented from 23–27 October 2017 and 12–16 February 2018.

Studio

On 20 July 2011, Lorraine was presented from the Daybreak studio due to technical problems with a commercial break inserted in place of the handover to allow for the changeover.

From 3 September 2012, the studio set was refreshed to reflect the warmer colour scheme of the new logo and graphics. The previously pink sofa was now orange, along with the orange coloured lighting with illuminated the previously frosted/pastel panels of the backdrop.

In 2014, Kelly hosted Lorraine from a new look studio and a refresh in graphics to coincide with the launch of Good Morning Britain on 28 April 2014.

On 20 October 2014, Lorraine was briefly taken off air after a fire alarm forced its occupants to evacuate the studio on London's South Bank. Kelly was about to interview eliminated X Factor contestant Stephanie Nala from Luminites when they were interrupted by the alarm at 09:10 GMT. A spokeswoman for Lorraine said: "An alarm was raised within ITV this morning and the area was immediately evacuated. Once it had been investigated and deemed safe, people were able to re-enter the building." Lorraine Kelly wrote to fans on Twitter: "So sorry. We had to evacuate the building. First time in 30 years!" The show didn't make it back onto the air and the last 15 minutes was replaced by an episode of The National Trust and then followed by The Jeremy Kyle Show as normal.[14][15][16]
