This week, broadcasting legend Lorraine Kelly joins Christine Lampard, Hayley McQueen, and Kelly Cates for an unforgettable conversation covering everything from her early days in local newspapers to 40 years on TV.

Lorraine opens up about covering heartbreaking stories like Lockerbie, becoming a grandmother, and how she's helped change attitudes around menopause, cancer awareness, and ageing in the media. With her trademark warmth and wit, she also shares hilarious stories—from pretending to be David Attenborough’s best friend to astronaut training for her 60th birthday.

From hosting daytime TV to launching powerful campaigns like Change + Check, Lorraine reflects on her journey, staying curious, and why she’s never been afraid to just “pick up the phone.”
