Lorraine Kelly has revealed that the bomb threat yesterday at ITV was actually a parcel sent to her by a media company.
Lorraine Kelly was reportedly named on a "suspicious" package that appeared at the ITV studios and prompted a whole building evacuation. Bosses and security were concerned that the box, which thankfully didn't reach the Scottish presenter, could have a bomb inside. As a result, the package was intercepted as quickly as possible and the building's staff and TV stars were all ordered to leave the building as soon as possible.

As footage of the interview played on screen for presenter Lorraine to discuss, she couldn’t help but comment on the fact she was distracted by his choice of outfit - a polo neck top.
Speaking to Sunday People, Lorraine said: "During the pandemic I started comfort eating and that was my downfall – comfort eating and not being able to go to my fitness classes.

Phillip was branded 'passive-aggressive' by Eamonn, 62, who also claimed Phillip 'has a habit of 'snubbing people' during an interview with the Daily Mail's Weekend magazine over the weekend.
Not everyone was thrilled with Lorraine Kelly's first show of the week.
