Lorraine Kelly has hosted her self-titled ITV daytime show since 2010, and in that time has interviewed thousands of celebs. Now, the star has exposed the two A-Listers she had the worst experience with.

During an appearance at the 2025 Hay Festival of Literature and Arts – one fan wanted all the dirt, and wasn’t afraid to ask. Starting off with her favourite, it was no surprise that Lorraine chose heartthrob George Clooney.

“George Clooney is adorable. He just is. He’s my favourite,” the host gushed. However, it looks like neither superstars Mariah Carey or Lady Gaga lived up to the mark – both for very different reasons.

First up, the star revealed that Mariah Carey just “didn’t make sense.” Opening up on the complex interview, Lorraine said: “The one that was difficult, not because she was horrible… but Mariah Carey was ‘refreshed’. It’s good we were [pre-recording] it because her first answer was 10 minutes long, and did not make any sense.

“But I always give people the benefit of the doubt,” the understanding host continued.

As for Lady Gaga, the Poker Face singer had Lorraine waiting for five or six hours, and what’s more, the interview never even happened.

“They kept saying ‘she’s getting in the car, she’s getting in the car’, and of course my crew have all been up since God knows when… they need to go home to bed!” Lorraine then revealed: “She never turned up; I don’t know what happened there.”

The revelations from the host comes after she was tipped to quit her morning ITV show at the end of next year following a major shakeup to the daytime schedule.

Lorraine will now air only 30 weeks a year instead of all year, with episodes cut to 30 minutes from an hour. A source told the Mirror: “Lorraine was not happy about what is happening and also had concern for the production team which will be cut back too.

A source told The Sun on Sunday: “Lorraine was asked if she wanted to retire, having just celebrated her 40 years on breakfast TV, but she instead chose to see out her contract.

“Bosses thought it would be an ideal opportunity for her to spend more time with family, especially given how little she was on her own show last year. Many think it is unlikely she will stay on after her current contract and that is further proven by the fact that the boss of her show will be part-time and on a one-year contract.

“She is a hugely valued member of the ITV history and is likely to do other shows at the channel, with some thinking she may explore documentaries, travelogues and passion projects.”

The Mirror has contacted a representative of Lorraine for comment.

It’s not only Lorraine’s show that’s suffered from the cuts. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot for a seasonal basis of 30 weeks too.
