Lorraine Kelly Continues her Absence – Dodges Colleague’s Question Live on Air – Has she Really Lost Interest in ITV? Or is she Simply Trying to Show ITV her Influence over Viewers?
Lorraine Kelly was left squirming as a co-star bluntly asked her ‘where have you been?’ on Monday’s episode of the programme after MORE time off from the show.
Right after explaining to viewers what they could expect from today’s (9 June 2025) instalment, the 65-year-old introduced her celebrity correspondent for LA Ross King to the show, live from America.
Lorraine said: ‘Ross is in Los Angeles for us later Ross. Crickey! It’s tough times over there…’
Ross explained that he would be touching upon the current riots in LA, as well as the relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Referencing her latest bout of absence, he quipped: ‘Apart from all that, what about you, where have you been?!’
Lorraine replied: ‘Oh I’ve been in the far north, I’ve been so far north I nearly came back on myself.

The 65-year-old has been away from her show for the past week after taking on another project
‘I’ll tell you all about it. I sadly can’t say too much about it now.
‘In a few weeks, I might be able to give you more hints.
‘I can even show you some photos, it was life changing and amazing.
‘I’ll phone you later and tell you all about it.’
It comes after earlier this month Lorraine disappeared from our screens again after ditching her show amid huge cuts.
The star took to Instagram on Sunday to share her exciting new project that she will be working on this week – meaning that she wouldn’t be presenting her daily self-named programme.
Lorraine said: ‘Hi there! I’m in the land of the midnight sun. It’s absolutely glorious.
‘It’s a project that I have wanted to do for years and years and finally it is actually happening.

Lorraine told her co-star: ‘Oh I’ve been in the far north, I’ve been so far north I nearly came back on myself’
‘I’m heading really, really far north.
‘It is going to be amazing and I will tell you all about it when I am back.
‘I’m back a week tomorrow (Monday) and I will see you then.
‘Wish me luck.’
She captioned the post: ‘BIG FILMING ADVENTURES!!!!
‘Heading to the very far north – it’s going to be amazing – see you in a week’s time! #happy #arctic #filming #adventures #exploration #joy.’
Over the past year Lorraine has hit headlines after disappearing from our screens a number of times.
And so much so that TWO X accounts have been made about her when she is missing from the programme.
Lorraine Kelly takes to Instagram to tease ‘exciting’ new project
Christine Lampard, 46, and Ranvir Singh, 47, step in when she cannot present the show.
Last month it was revealed that Loose Women and Lorraine have been AXED for half the year – as ITV announce a big shake up to its daytime schedule.
Just last week she revealed that she’s ‘not done yet’ as she appeared to hit back at rumours her show will be cut for good.
Speaking on the Tom Kerridge on the Proper Tasty podcast: ’40 years in TV last year was incredible. I got a BAFTA. “Here’s a BAFTA for being alive.” I thought, “Hang on a minute, I’m not done yet”.’
