ITV's Lorraine Kelly left horrified by 'romance scam' after plea for help from viewers

Lorraine Kelly was left horrified and appalled by news of a 'romance scams,' which have seen victims lose huge amounts of money after being taken in by fraudsters on dating apps and social media. And the unnerving conversation came as she pleaded with viewers for help after losing her voice.

As she battled through illness, with a noticeably hoarse voice, popular ITV presenter Lorraine was joined for her final show of the week by relationship guru and Married at First Sight star, Paul C.Brunson. The pair began their conversation talking about how difficult Mother's Day can be for some people, whether that be because their mum has passed away or they have a strained relationship, but then the discussion took a more sinister turn when the words 'Cost of Loving Crisis' appeared on the big screen behind them.

Before getting a full explanation from Paul, Lorraine remarked: "This is really worrying isn't it? The scams that are out there!" In response, Paul told her he was 'highly concerned' by what was going on, as she replied: "Me too, it's awful."
