Lorraine Kelly revealed the truth behind her swollen face live on Loose Women on Thursday after being asked ‘if she’d had fillers or an allergic reaction’ by panicked fans.
The 65-year-old sparked concern just hours before during her appearance on Good Morning Britain.
The Scottish presenter appeared on Loose Women to chat to Charlene White, 44, Judi Love, 44, Nadia Sawalha, 60, and Linda Robson, 60, about being a grandmother, among other things.
But before they got into the chat, Lorraine also wanted to address the speculation about her face, after many of those watching at home had got in touch with her to share their worry.
Lorraine explained: ‘Yesterday, you know as woman, when we try to do too many things at one time, and we try to do it really fast…
‘So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.

‘My slippers are too big and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!’
She continued: ‘I thought “Oh it will be fine!” but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner, this big black eye!’
Lorraine explained that lots of ‘lovely’ viewers asked if she had allergies, but confirmed that this was not the case.
She also addressed speculation around her having facial injectables, adding: ‘Have I had fillers? No!’
Earlier in the day Lorraine joined Ed Balls, 58, and Susanna Reid, 54, on the Good Morning Britain to tell viewers about what was coming up on her programme.
Lorraine looked ultra stylish in a plunging low cut brown maxi dress.
She styled her brunette locks into her classic loose waves and opted for glamorous make-up.
However, some rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to point out the same thing.
One said: ‘@GMB what has happened to Lorraine? Her face and eyes look swollen.’
Another questioned: ‘What’s happened to Lorraine’s face ? Looks like an allergic reaction.’
While a third wrote: ‘Has she been stung by a wasp?’
A fourth added: ‘Hope you’re okay Lorraine, looks like an allergy that’s affecting your eyes.’
Earlier on in the segment, Ed and Susanna had just been chatting about the AI version of the late Princess Diana.
They wanted to know what the star thought about the AI images that have come out of her.
Lorraine said: ‘I thought that was creepy. I think when folks are dead it’s creepy.
‘You know the ABBA thing, I don’t mind that, because they are still alive.
‘But I wouldn’t like to go and see David Bowie as an avatar because he’s not with me anymore.
‘That one of Princess Diana and Harry looked very strange.
‘I didn’t like that – it was creepy!’
During Thursday’s instalment of Lorraine, the host spoke to a number of guests including model Twiggy and Towie’s Pete Wicks.
She also walked over to the This Morning studio and spoke about their new campaign March4March.
Earlier this week, Lorraine said: ‘I’m so pleased we are launching a campaign dedicated to destigmatizing the conversation around mental health.
‘I’m so grateful to the amazing names who’ve already agreed to bravely share their stories and pledge their support for such a worthy cause.
‘I’m looking forward to getting out walking and talking and I look forward to taking our amazing viewers along with me.’
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
