Lorraine Kelly wears sunglasses like Elton John to cover black eye from fall at home

Lorraine Kelly showed a glimpse of her black-eye before admitting that she ‘feels silly’ following a disastrous fall at home.

The 65-year-old TV host first caused concern due to her swollen face during a TV appearance. She later explained that she had tripped over an ornamental rhino while carrying a basket of laundry.

Lorraine tried to conceal her injury with stylish sunglasses in an Instagram video the following day. However, her painful bruise was still noticeable even through the tinted lenses.

In the video, Lorraine informed her followers that she was scheduled to be a guest on Scott Mills’ Radio 2 morning show to discuss her new book. She also mentioned the reason she was wearing the sunglasses adorned with diamonds.

During her chat with Scott, Lorraine failed to go into detail about the accident, but she did admit she felt ‘silly’ while sympathising with a caller who revealed they suffered a similar fall. 

As the caller told how she felt better because she’s going through the same thing as the star and now feels it’s ‘socially acceptable’ to fall over, Lorraine agreed saying it was indeed ‘socially acceptable’.

Lorraine, 65, initially sparked concern about her swollen face when she appeared on screens on Thursday morning, before later clarifying that she took a tumble into an ornamental rhino

Lorraine and Scott then joked about the caller not having a Rhino to trip over, with Scott asking why he hadn’t seen Lorraine’s Rhino on Gogglebox, to which she explained it was ‘hiding’ and was ‘rather large and difficult to move’.

Lorraine previously revealed the truth behind her swollen face live on Loose Women on Thursday after being asked ‘if she’d had fillers or an allergic reaction’ by panicked fans. 

After sparking concern amid her earlier appearance on Good Morning Britain, the Scottish host appeared on Loose Women to chat to Charlene White, 44, Judi Love, 44, Nadia Sawalha, 60, and Linda Robson, 60, about being a grandmother, among other things. 

But before they got into the chat, Lorraine also wanted to address the speculation about her face, after many of those watching at home had got in touch with her to share their worry. 

Lorraine explained: ‘Yesterday, you know as woman, when we try to do too many things at one time, and we try to do it really fast…

‘So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.

‘My slippers are too big and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!’ 

She continued: ‘I thought “Oh it will be fine!” but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner, this big black eye!’

Lorraine explained that lots of ‘lovely’ viewers asked if she had allergies, but confirmed that this was not the case.

She also addressed speculation around her having facial injectables, adding: ‘Have I had fillers? No!’ 

Earlier in the day Lorraine joined Ed Balls, 58, and Susanna Reid, 54, on the Good Morning Britain to tell viewers about what was coming up on her programme. 

Lorraine looked ultra stylish in a plunging low cut brown maxi dress. 

She styled her brunette locks into her classic loose waves and opted for glamorous make-up.

Lorraine initially sparked concern with ‘puffy’ face earlier on Good Morning Britain – as concerned fans gasp ‘what has happened?’

However, some rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to point out the same thing. 

One said: ‘@GMB what has happened to Lorraine? Her face and eyes look swollen.’

Another questioned: ‘What’s happened to Lorraine’s face ? Looks like an allergic reaction.’ 

While a third wrote: ‘Has she been stung by a wasp?’

A fourth added: ‘Hope you’re okay Lorraine, looks like an allergy that’s affecting your eyes.’
