I'll be totally spoiling my granddaughter

Lorraine Kelly and her daughter Rosie reveal how they spend Christmas Day and what's in store for 2026

- JORDAN LLOYD BECK

Daytime TV legend Lorraine Kelly has proved to be quite the granny extraordinaire since her daughter Rosie welcomed her first child, a little girl called Billie, last August with fiancé Steve White. Chatting to OK! along with 31-year-old Rosie, Lorraine, 66, admits she will unashamedly spoil the youngest member of the clan this festive season.

The bubbly and down-to-earth Scot also opens up about her plans to wear the biggest hat ever when Rosie - her only child with her husband of 33 years, TV cameraman Steve Smith - gets married next year and shares her true feelings about the upcoming changes at ITV, including her own beloved show.

Are you both ready for Christmas?

Lorraine: Oh, it’s the same every year - we get a shock, it comes around so fast.

Rosie: I was sorted early this year. It’s a bit mad, but Mum and Dad’s birthdays are in November so I do that and then kind of do Christmas at the same time.

Lorraine: My daughter’s very organised. She has a spreadsheet for everything. I'm afraid I've done nothing because we moved house quite recently, to be closer to Billie and Rosie, so we’ve been up to our eyeballs with the move.

How are you planning to spend the day itself?

Rosie: I'll have Christmas morning at my house, then walk to Mum’s house. It’s only a six-minute walk away or a minute’s drive. On Boxing Day we'll do Christmas again at my partner’s parents house with Billie, so we have two Christmases.

Is Billie more aware of Christmas this time round?
