Lorraine Kelly stuns fans with handsome brother photo, signs £2.1m ITV deal

Who knew she had such a dashing sibling?

Lorraine Kelly has shocked fans after sharing a photo of her brother.

The arty black and white pic had her 96,000 Instagram fans in a tizzy after she shared it on Monday.

Lorrraine, 57, wrote: “My handsome baby brother #family”.

Her fans couldn’t believe their eyes, with some comparing him to Gary Kemp and David Essex.

“Oooh I say..😍..”, said one.

Another wrote: “He certainly is a looker x”

“Very handsome Lorraine. Xx,” said a third.

A cheeky follower added: “Is he single? (Did I actually just ask that lol) x”.

We think Lorraine needs to clarify whether he’s single or not!

It has recently been revealed that the TV show host will be staying on with ITV for another two and a half years.

According to The Daily Mail, she has signed a £2.1m contract, making her one of the highest-paid women on British television.

“Lorraine is a mainstay of ITV breakfast and one of its most popular stars, both on and off screen,” said a source.

“She basically has complete autonomy at the station and is free to suggest ideas; she has far more editorial control than many other presenters.”

The insider continued: “Lorraine is a true professional, and so easy to work with. It was basically a no-brainer that she’d be awarded a renewed, improved deal – and certainly, had ITV not made an offer, she’d have been snapped up elsewhere.”

It’s been reported that her colleagues are “thrilled” too.

Apparently the BBC and Sky were wanting to snap her up, but she knows that her loyalties lie with ITV.

The Scot started working for her fave channel back in 1989, and joined the Good Morning Britain team in 1990 before hosting GMTV for a whopping 16 years in 1993.

Lorraine then became a presenter of Nine O’Clock Live, and proved so popular that it was later re-branded as Lorraine Live.

In Autumn of 2000, GMTV changed to GMTV Today, and Lorraine’s show changed its name to LK Today.

Of course, that then became Lorraine seven years ago, and hasn’t looked back since.

We are delighted for her and can’t wait to have her on our screens for a couple years more!
