Lorraine Kelly had a swipe at Boris Johnson during the BAFTA TV Awards.

Following her grilling of Boris, Susanna had told him: “It’s good to talk to you. Lorraine is waiting to take up all the issues that you have brought up in this interview. Thank you very much indeed.”
Boris then responded by asking: “Who’s Lorraine?”, and Susanna said: “Lorraine’s a legend.”
He then seemed to mumble: "Great, fantastic, well I don't want to talk to Lorraine..."
Referring to the incident at the awards bash, Lorraine said: "Hello, and a special hello to Boris, I'm Lorraine. Lovely to see you."
Lorraine had spoken out about Boris's gaff on her show saying: : "There are loads of you, it's so funny, reacting to Boris Johnson earlier on wondering who I was. I love how he said who's Lorraine.
"Why should he know who I am? I mean he's busy in the mornings, he wouldn't be watching us although he could learn a lot as you know."
What a funny, funny day it's been."
Boris's official spokesperson said of the incident: "The Prime Minister wasn't fully across ITV's daytime line-up this morning, but you'll appreciate he has a number of issues to deal with."
