Lorraine Kelly has told how her husband Steve Smith sends her cheeky texts.

The ITV chat show star, 65, has been married to the former TV-AM cameraman since 1992.

Opening up about their marriage, she told the Mirror: “We never take each other for granted because that is so easy to do in a long marriage.”

Discussing how there is still a spark between them, she said: “Yeah. Obviously! Of course. That’s important too, all that malarkey.

“It’s not the main thing, but it’s important. The thing he does do, on the rare occasions I might wear something a little lower cut than normal on my show, he sends me a wee text to say, ‘Nice boobies!’ So he appreciates that.”

Lorraine also joked that Steve – who she referred to as her “rock” – enthusiastically supports her ITV programme’s Change + Check initiative, which promotes regular breast examinations amongst women and heightens awareness of breast cancer indicators and symptoms.

She shared: “I always say, check yourself, or get the person in your life to do it, because they probably know your boobs better than you do. And Steve is selfless in that department! A martyr. He’ll go, ‘Oh, alright then’.”

Lorraine and Steve first crossed paths at TV-AM during the 1980s, before tying the knot in 1992.

They marked their 33rd wedding anniversary in September.

In August last year, Lorraine’s family life transformed when her daughter Rosie, 31, who is a writer, gave birth to her own daughter, who she named Billie.

Lorraine has been open about how much she is enjoying being a grandmother to her “gorgeous” granddaughter, who is now 14 months old.

She shared that Billie is crawling and that she is nearly walking, and that her “face lights up” when she sees her grandmother.

“Sometimes she calls me Banana, sometimes it’s Nana,” shared the daytime TV star. “I don’t care, I’ll answer to anything.”
