The star and politician Esther worked on breakfast show GMTV in the ’90s, and presenters Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were quick to ask Lorraine about her former colleague.

Susanna asked Lorraine: “Do you remember Esther McVey from her GMTV days?”
Lorraine replied: “Yep. Yes, I do.”
The Scottish presenter then quickly moved on to tell viewers what was coming up on her show, before Piers asked: “So you got on with Esther then, Lorraine?”
Lorraine said: “I don’t remember, love, I don’t remember at all. It was an awful long time ago.”
Piers quipped: “If looks could kill she’d be six feet under.”
He then told Susanna: “I’d love to hear the back story behind that.”
Viewers were quick to share their thoughts on Lorraine’s comments, with some people accusing her of “throwing shade” at Esther.
