GOOD MORNING BRITAIN WITH LORRAINE MONDAY-HOLIDAY FRIDAY / ITV / 9AM / LIFESTYLE

Lorraine Kelly is always a ray of sunshine, but she’s undoubtedly shining even brighter during these strange and scary times, providing us with news, stability and continuity every weekday live from the Good Morning Britain studio.

Despite the lockdown, Lorraine has been broadcasting every day for an hour from 9am in the GMB studio, where she brings viewers facts and advice as well as celebrating the hard work of everyone on the front line.

Here, in an exclusive interview, Lorraine, 60, who last year celebrated an amazing 35 years in broadcasting, tells TV Times why she’s determined to keep calm and carry on chatting…

How has your working day changed since lockdown?

Normally when I’d come into work, the production office would be buzzing with people. Now it’s basically empty. There’s one producer, and we always observe social distancing. Before the show starts, the only other person I see is our sound person. Fantastic measures are in place. We’re being so, so safe. If I thought for a nanosecond I was bringing danger to anyone, I wouldn’t do it.

What happens during filming?

When I get to the studio with Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid, we all keep distant from each other. During the break, they leave and the chairs are wiped down. Dr Hilary Jones and I are two metres away from each other. Our microphones and earpieces have been sterilised and are just for us. In the studio, we’ve got three cameramen and a floor manager and nobody’s allowed in or out!
