Lorraine Kelly has returned to her own studio after four months working with the ‘Good Morning Britain’ team.
The 60-year-old presenter had relocated her ‘Lorraine’ programme after ITV made some changes amid the coronavirus pandemic, but from Monday (13.07.20) she was back in the show’s former home.
In a video shared on social media, she said: "Hi everyone, it’s Lorraine here. As of Monday, we’re going to be back in our studio which we’re all very excited about.
"It’s been lovely being with the guys at ‘GMB’, but it’ll be so nice to sort of get back to a little bit of normality and be back in here.
"So I’ll see you on Monday!"
Back in March, ITV bosses stopped filming ‘Lorraine’ from its original studio and instead extended ‘GMB’ for another hour, as the host took over the final 60 minutes.
At the time, the broadcaster explained: "ITV Daytime has taken the decision to stop broadcasting ‘Lorraine’ and ‘Loose Women’ live from Monday 23rd March.
"This decision has been made to minimise the number of staff travelling in and out of our studios and working together on shift at any one time.
"We’re focusing our efforts on providing to viewers the latest news on the rapidly changing situation which aims to offer some stability and continuity in all our lives whilst so many of us are at home right now.
"That’s why we have taken this tough decision to protect our GMB News programme in the morning and keep ‘This Morning’ on air for as long as possible."
Throughout the pandemic, Lorraine has had to do her own hair and makeup because social distancing measures meant stylists couldn’t be in close contact with presenters.
However, she previously explained: "It’s been a wee learning curve but Helen, who normally does my make-up, has been giving me masterclasses, talking me through everything. I tend just to do my hair on Mondays, then use tons of hairspray as the week goes on to keep it in place."
