Lorraine Kelly to appear on Strictly 2022?

Addressing claims that she’s part of the line-up, Lorraine tweeted an article from the Scottish Sun and wrote: “Aye right!

“I love Strictly but there’s more chance of me being a contestant on Love Island.”

A betting insider has previously told the Scottish Sun: “Lorraine has been linked with Strictly for a number of years now, and our odds suggest there is a good chance this series could be the one the television host appears on the famous dance floor.

“We wouldn’t make Lorraine one of the favourites to lift the Glitterball Trophy, but we think she would be very popular with the public.”

Lorraine fans react

Responding to Lorraine’s tweet, one fan said: “I’ll come with you lol.”
