Lorraine Kelly has revealed how she struggled to adapt to motherhood when her daughter was born.

The presenter said parenting didn’t come “naturally” to her and she had to lean heavily on support from cameraman husband Steve Smith.

The couple tied the knot in 1992 and had daughter Rosie four years later.

Lorraine, who fronts her self-titled morning show on ITV, said Steve took to baby duties much more easily.

The 60-year-old, originally from East Kilbride said: “Steve took to it much better than I did.

“He is an absolute natural when it comes to being a dad. I kind of had to learn it a little bit more. It didn’t come as natural to me.
