Viewers react to bare boobs on Lorraine!

Fans were divided by the segment

Lorraine Kelly took her viewers by surprise this morning, when a model went topless to demonstrate a breast exam.

Dr Hilary took those at home through the process, step-by-step, with help from Michelle.

After the demonstration, the model got her dressing gown back, as Dr Hilary encouraged women to conduct regular checks.

He added: “A lot of women say, ‘Well how do I know what I’m feeling? My breasts are always lumpy and grainy.’

“The thing is that is true. There are women who feel like they have a bag of sand, or rubber.”

The ITV morning show warned their fans the boobs were coming, taking to Twitter with a clip of the model in her robe.

But still, many were unprepared, with one tweeting: “@lorraine It’s too early to look at boobs on TV 😶”.

Some were shocked, tweeting: “I think bringing self checking of breasts knowledge to the public is very important but nearly everyone has access to the internet. Couldn’t @lorraine have just directed us to a link? No need for bare breasts on tv this early in a morning”.

Another wrote: “Not necessary to show boobs on TV just for a demonstration, could have had an animated video.. Similarly why is a man always talking about woman’s problems.. #Lorraine”.

But others defended the move, commenting: “Loads of people complaining about seeing boobs on tv? I think it’s amazing that someone has the confidence to teach the rest of the world how to properly examine yourself! #lorraine”.

Another strongly praised the presenter, saying: “Have to say how amaze @lorraine is showing women how to check your boobs for breast cancer, this is something all women should know from the early ages – and to the woman who had her boobs out for an example – how [bleeping] brave!!

A third wrote: “Are people really getting offended by breasts on #lorraine? Get a [bleeping] grip of yourselves. This one demonstration has probably saved someone’s life.

“It’s a pair of boobs. They aren’t offensive, it wasn’t anything pornographic. Sort yourselves out. Idiots.”

The TV veteran told OK! Magazine said: “I can’t even imagine retiring but if there ever comes a point when I’m slowing down then we’ll go back to Scotland.

“I feel settled here just now, pottering around the garden with [my dog] Angus beside me and indulging my passion for being neat and tidy by weeding.”
