Lorraine Kelly has addressed her 2019 tax tribunal case, saying: “I don’t want people to think I would do anything to get out of paying what I should be paying.”
The TV host made headlines when she won a £1.2 million battle with HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), with a judge saying the Scottish star “presents a persona of herself”, agreeing she was not an ITV employee and instead was hired to perform “the role of a friendly, chatty and fun personality”.
Kelly, 62, told The Guardian she was happy to address the case “because I’ve never got my chance to put my side of the story across”.
