Lorraine viewers shared their frustration as they watched presenter Lorraine Kelly interview Jordan Stephens on Thursday’s instalment of the ITV show.
The 33 year old appeared on the programme to chat to the Scottish host about his new children’s novel See For Yourself.
Jordan – who is one half of hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks with Harley Alexander-Sule – released the book today (Thursday 22 May) after joining forces with illustrator Beth Suzanna.
But while some were watching the show at home, they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say the same thing – that Lorraine was interrupting her guest while he was speaking.
One brutally said: ‘She’s more irritating than normal today; interrupting etc #Lorraine.’
‘This woman is just APPALLING at interviewing! How on earth do her colleagues refer to her as a “national treasure” I will never know. #lorraine @lorraine.’

‘Let him speak FFS!!!!’
During the chat Lorraine confessed that she loves his second book and asked: ‘It’s about the ocean specifically isn’t it?’
Jordan explained: ‘The idea came from, what we mentioned in the break, as a species I find we’re fascinated with up and out.
‘We’ve studied space, we have all these incredible discoveries outside of the earth. But appears as if we haven’t been to the bottom of the ocean…’
Lorraine said: ‘Not as much. There is vast areas of the ocean that we don’t actually know that much about… Finding new species all the time.
Jordan replied: ‘Right!’
Lorraine continued: ‘So your wee hero, he goes?’

Jordan explains: ‘Harry Arlo, it follows this boy who, he comes from a family of pilots, and he wants to be the first in his family to go down, rather than up, because he believes that is where the beauty lies.
‘So he goes on a journey, on a mission.
‘And also, this is just because I went snorkeling one time as well, a few year ago, and I could not believe what I was seeing under these. It blew my mind!
‘There’s probably thousands of kids books that explore the ocean because of how many incredible colours and shapes, the lower you go, the weirder it gets. I love it!’
The singer went on to explained: ‘The Missing Piece, our first book, we chose Sunny to be a black girl, we weren’t bothered about the gender to be honest.
‘The story was the story, well make Sunny a girl.
‘When we were speaking to the libraries we were working with, that there weren’t books about boys, well certainly black boys. not that it matters.
