The 65-year-old ITV host revealed she was sporting a black eye due to a clumsy mishap at home while doing laundry. Fellow panellist Linda Robson pointed out Lorraine’s “shiner”, prompting her to share the story: “I have! I will explain, yesterday, you know as women we try to do too many things at one time and we try to do it really fast? “I had a massive bag of washing, a huge big washing basket, I couldn’t see and was going from the kitchen to the living room, where there’s a wee step, and my slippers are too big, I fell over and then I fell onto a rhino! I hit my face on it!”

She continued: “I thought I’d be fine and I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner black eye, I thought I won’t say anything, I won’t say anything and Helen, our fantastic make-up artist, has actually done a brilliant job! Hasn’t she done a great job?” When asked if it hurt, Lorraine confessed: “It’s okay… it’s a wee tiny bit but I just feel a bit silly! Also, can I just say, somebody called in and said: ‘Have I had fillers’… no!”. She also expressed gratitude for the viewers’ concern, saying: “A lot of people were very kindly, a lot of folks were saying: ‘Are you okay?’, ‘have you got allergies?’ Our viewers are so lovely! They were like: ‘You should try this!'”.
