TV STAR REVEALS FAMILY HEARTBREAK

- BY JENNIFER HYLAND

PRESENTER Lorraine Kelly has told of her heartbreak at the death of her dad.

The broadcaster, who is from Glasgow and moved to East Kilbride as a teenager, announced the news on social media yesterday afternoon.

Her dad John, 84, worked as a TV service engineer and was known for his passion for science and astronomy, which Lorraine had inherited from him.

Sharing a snap of them together, the STV star said: "Very sad news. My dad has died. I am mourning the man who bought me a telescope when I was five years old, who watched the Moon landings with me and taught me to always be curious and interested in everything.

"He was in poor health but it has still been a shock.
