Lorraine Kelly once went on air drunk.
The 56-year-old presenter has revealed she once turned up to her titular breakfast show heavily intoxicated after she slept in the studio following a wild night of boozing.
Speaking to Alan Carr in the Christmas special of his chat show 'Alan Carr: Chatty Man', set to air later this week, she explained: "I am a responsible person, but yes in the past I might have had one or two drinks in my life."
After being pressed for details, Lorraine added: "I went out for lunch, as you do, and then we had a few drinks."
The brunette beauty then reassured fans the incident took place a "long time ago" and she no longer gets up to those sort of antics because she's a mature mother now.
Lorraine, who has 21-year-old daughter Rosie with her husband Stevie Smith, explained: "Now this is a long time ago. This was before I was a responsible mother, and we went out and we just sort of kept drinking."
However, despite rocking up to set stinking of booze, Lorraine is adamant no body realised her drunken state.
She said: "I don't pull sickies. It was a long time ago, and nobody noticed. Which I thought was quite good."

Ricky Rayment refused to watch the 'Geordie Shore' finale last night (23.12.15) to save him from "embarrassment" following his failed engagement with Marnie Simpson.
The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star decided to get an early night rather than watch the last episode of series 11, in which he popped the question to the brunette beauty on camera while she was shooting the show special in Greece.
Ricky's former co-star Mario Falcone saw it as a great opportunity to rub salt in the wound by taking to Twitter and tweeting: "Can't wait to watch #GeordieShore later... Double awkward @RickyRayment #shehesitated (sic)."
Ricky hit back: "You've been waiting so long for that tweet I'm not watching it.. I'm having an early night."
In a bid to wind the hunk up even more, Mario replied: "Don't worry my friend.. I shall record and call you first thing in the morning!! Love you mwahaha X (sic)."
Clearly struggling with the embarrassment, Ricky said: "Kill me before I wake up please."
The couple got engaged in June after just five months of dating but the romance came crashing down four months later when thy split after a series of blazing rows.
However, the 23-year-old reality TV star recently admitted, while there is no chance of a reconciliation between her and her former fiancé in the near future, she would consider getting back together with him in ten years' time.
She told BANG Showbiz: "Maybe in the future, when I'm like 30, which is like ten years' time, maybe."

'Top Gear's executive producer has quit the show.
The BBC motoring programme has been dealt another blow after Lisa Clark announced she was leaving just five months after she was brought in by new presenter Chris Evans.
She said in a statement: "After an extremely busy five months I am moving on from 'Top Gear' to new projects which I will be announcing in the new year. I'd like to wish production all the very best with the show."
Lisa, who previously worked alongside Chris as a producer on 'The Big Breakfast', was hired in the summer as a replacement for Andy Wilman after he left to join the old presenting line-up - Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May - on their new Amazon motoring show.
Despite her early exit, it seems there are no hard feelings between the BBC and Lisa as they praised her on her work.
The broadcasting company said: "We'd like to thank Lisa for all her incredible work over the last five months readying new 'Top Gear' for its busy filming schedule in 2016."
Alex Renton, who has been series editor on the hit show for 10 years, will take over as producer on an interim basis to ensure there are no issues with the production schedule.
A new executive producer will be announced in due course.
Meanwhile, 'Top Gear' is set to return to screens in May after Chris signed a three-year contract as the new host.

David Gest has signed up to appear on 'Celebrity Big Brother'.
The larger-than-life personality has negotiated a deal for £600,000 to take part in the reality TV show when it kicks off on Channel 5 on January 5.
According to a source close to the show, the deal makes him one of the highest paid stars ever to appear on 'CBB'.
Producers were desperate to secure Gest in a bid to bring a much wider audience to the show which it has been lacking in recent series as well as the much-needed humour the series has been missing.
The signing is a huge coup for producers as Gest has turned down many lucrative UK television programmes in the last three years because he got tired of being on TV after making more than a hundred television appearances on various shows including the highest rated 'Celebrity Come Dine With Me' in history where he had his good friend, the late Mickey Rooney, in his living room.
A source told BANG Showbiz: "It's a big deal to get Gest in the house - he has pretty much turned his back on reality TV in the last few years instead choosing to focus on his actual jobs of being a concert-and-television producer as well as a live artist. But now he's signed on the dotted line he's sure to be very popular with his stories about his close friends Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston and of course he has a legion of fans to get behind him from his stint in the jungle on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' who fell in love with his antics."
Gest won millions of fans in Britain when he made his television debut on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' in 2006. His stories about his housekeeper Vaginica Seaman as well as tales about his family and the Albino Heights Hotel in Detroit became legendary.
According to the source, 'CBB' bosses have been trying to get him in the house for the last few years but Gest flatly turned down all previous offers.
While he's been off screen, Gest has spent much of his time touring the UK with his soul review of legendary R&B performers such as Bill Medley, Deniece Williams and Freda Payne, as well as producing the Universal Pictures smash movie 'Michael Jackson: The Life of An Icon' which has been seen by millions throughout the world.
Other stars believed to be going into the 'CBB' house include Vanilla Ice, Stephanie Davis, Darren Day, Gemma Collins and Angie Bowie.

Aliona Vilani quit 'Strictly Come Dancing' because she wants to start a family.
The 31-year-old beauty - who is married to sales director Vincent Kavanagh - announced she was leaving the celebrity dance contest yesterday (22.12.15), and it's now been reported she made the decision because she's desperate to become a mother.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Aliona loves children and is ready to have a family.
"As much as she loves 'Strictly' she doesn't want to put her plans for a baby on hold any more.
"They are going to start trying straight away."
Aliona took to Twitter to announce she would not be appearing on the next series of the show after leading The Wanted's Jay McGuinness to victory in last weekend's final.
She wrote: "Going into this Strictly Come Dancing Series 13, I decided that no matter what would happen, it will be my last one."
Aliona previously won the glitterball trophy with McFly's Harry Judd in 2011.
The blonde beauty has now jetted off to Florida with husband Vincent to visit family over the festive season.

Bobby Norris and Gemma Collins bicker like "siblings."
The 'Only Way is Essex' star is adamant his relationship with the bubbly blonde, 34, who made a cameo in the Christmas special last week, will never come to an end, despite their on-screen squabbles, because their bond is so strong.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "With me and Gem, we love each other to bits and we are like brother and sister. I'm an only child so she's like the big sister I've never had. So, although we've always bickered or had disagreements, it's no different to a sibling kind of fight.
"I'll always go home and, I don't like to go home on a argument, send her a text and go, 'Look, love you.' Or, 'I'll phone you tomorrow.' Just to let her know that we can get over this. The thing is with me and Gem, especially on the show, I could tell her stuff and vice versa."
And Bobby, 29, really hopes the plus-size beauty, who is known for her controversial outbursts, will return to the ITVBe show full-time following her departure earlier this year but understands her busy life may not allow it anymore.
Asked if he wants Gemma, Lauren Goodger and Mario Falcone, who all made a cameo in the special, to return full-time, he said: "It would be lovely to have them come back. I think it's down to where people are in their lives and stuff but I would definitely like to have all three of them back."

Harry Judd believes he's more famous for winning 'Strictly Come Dancing' in 2011 than he is for being in McFly.
The 29-year-old singer may have been in the successful boyband for 12 years but he's convinced he's recognised more for his flawless dance skills than his vocals nowadays.
He explained: "I've been in McFly for 12 years and we have had seven number one singles and two number one albums. But when I'm in the supermarket people just want to know about 'Strictly.' "
However, the handsome star doesn't mind as he found the BBC One show, which he won four years ago, to be one of the most "amazing" things he's ever done, so much so that he often re-watches clips of himself on the internet.
He explained: "It was one of the most amazing things I've done. I've been sad not to have had it for four years."
But it won't be long before Harry is back on the dance floor as he's agreed to take part in the forthcoming 'Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special' alongside his fellow previous winners Abbey Clancy, 39, and Tom Chambers, 38.
The festive show, hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman, will hit television screens across the nation on Christmas Day (25.12.15), on BBC One, at 6.15pm.

'Ordinary Lies' has been commissioned for a second series.
The BBC One drama proved such a huge hit with viewers when it arrived on screens earlier this year starring Jo Joyner, Shaun Dooley, Jason Manford and Michelle Keegan that it's been given the go-ahead to return for another series.
Writer and executive producer Danny Brocklehurst said: "The audience response to the first series of 'Ordinary Lies' was truly overwhelming so I'm delighted that we can bring it back for a second series.
"We were incredibly lucky with a stellar cast for series one - all of whom gave gripping performances which not only translated into great ratings but also critical acclaim."
Despite the success of the first series, which took place in a car sales room, the second series will explore the clandestine lives of a new group of colleagues and will be set in the headquarters of a national sports goods company.
Polly Hill, Controller BBC Drama Commissioning, added: "Danny's brilliant scripts really do make the ordinary lives of our characters become extraordinary.
"His warm, funny and clever stories will once again make gripping viewing for our BBC One audience."
'Ordinary Lies' will go into production next year.

Brits would rather spend Christmas with the Trotter family from 'Only Fools and Horses' than with their own relatives.
Thirty-eight per cent of the 2000 people surveyed said they'd prefer to celebrate the festive season with the fictional family - featuring gift-of-the-gab Del Trotter, his useless brother Rodney and and their bushy-bearded Uncle Albert - than spend it around the table with their own flesh and blood.
Alan Clarke, CEO, Homestay.com, which carried out the survey, said: "The comedy appeal of the Trotters still resonates with young and old audiences today.
"Personally, I'd love to have a Christmas Day drink with Del Boy and Rodney. While Homestay.com might not be able to get you round the table with your favourite TV family, we do have thousands of other great hosts across the globe willing to share their Christmas with those looking to experience something different than the usual family festivities."
But the Trotters aren't the only family proving popular with Brits as coming in closely behind with 32 per cent of the votes was 'Downton Abbey's The Grathams, while the Simpson family - made up of Homer, Marge and their three children, Lisa, Bart and Maggie - secured the third position.
Unsurprisingly, after being torn apart with death, destruction and divorce every year at Christmas time, the notorious EastEnders' Mitchell family - featuring patriarch badboy Phil - fell bottom of the list with just six per cent of the vote.


Top 10 Christmas TV Families:
1) The Trotters - 'Only Fools & Horses'
2) The Granthams - 'Downton Abbey'
3) The Simpsons
4) The Royal Family
5) The Royale Family
6) The Banks Family - 'Fresh Prince of Bel Air'
