Mum's the word for Kelly's girl...

Lorraine's daughter shares family album and star's wise advice

- By Hannah Britt

WITH the heart-wrenching loss of her beloved dad John last month, it is family first, now more than ever, for daytime TV star Lorraine Kelly.

And as if to prove that point, her daughter Rosie Kelly Smith has shared a set of intimate portraits that reveal the presenter as never seen before.

Opening up the Kelly family photo album, the images show Lorraine's life away from her showbiz day job as a devoted daughter and a doting mother and grandmother.

Rosie, 31, says: "She may be everybody's TV mum, but she's not famous to me. I've never known anything different. She's just my mum.

"The thing Mum always says is that everything is temporary, the good and the bad. And just be nice to people. It's not hard. It's actually harder to be horrible.

"She also says that you have to look after yourself before you can look after anyone else, including your baby. And my granny told me to be patient."

Such pearls of wisdom from Lorraine and her mum Anne King McMahon permeate Rosie's debut book, Mother to Mother.
