Lorraine Kelly was totally blindsided on Tuesday when she was alerted to the fact that a dog who appeared on her show had made an 'escape' from cameras, in a moment that left her ITV colleague Holly Willoughby totally gobsmacked.
In her second show of the week, long-serving broadcaster Lorraine was joined by a variety of guests including One Direction star Niall Horan and singer Meghan Trainor, who spoke to her via video call from Australia, where she is currently working as a coach on The Voice.
But the undeniable star of the show was a dog, who while wasn;'t actually in the studio, grabbed all of the attention as Lorraine crossed live to a house in Bolton, for a segment about a Mother's Day competition. Lorraine's roving reporter sat with mum Kathy in her living room to talk about a £120,000 cash prize, completely unaware that the family's dog had made a successful break for freedom, having let itself out of the door and into the garden.
