SWITCHING OVER TO A FJORD FOCUS

LORRAINE Kelly and I have something in common.

- 

She’s never been to Norway. Nor have I. The difference is, Lorraine says she’s always wanted to go. “I've been dreaming of this adventure ever since I was a little girl,” she tells us at the start of this new series of hers. “Growing up across the water, I was fascinated by tales of Viking maidens, mighty longboats and Norse warriors.”

Fair enough. But then why has she never just hopped on a plane? It's only two hours away. I doubt it’s beyond her budget. And it’s not one of those scary countries that makes British visitors uneasy, such as Iran or North Korea or France.
