For those of you listening who are not from the UK, Lorraine Kelly is a Scottish broadcaster with over 40 years in television. Known for her warmth and wit, she's a regular face and voice on morning TV, covering everything from hard-hitting news to celebrity interviews.

For the majority of you who are from the UK, she’s Lorraine.

In this episode, Lorraine tells me about some of her biggest influences, including her grandmother who was partial to a tall-tale or two…

She talks about being born to very young parents in a mixed Catholic-Protestant marriage, at a time when that really was a big deal…

And there’s some very interesting chat about Lorraine’s career in television including covering Lockerbie and Dunblane, the exploits of legendary Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and seeing David Bowie Live in Glasgow at the legendary Apollo.

And as always, there’s plenty more. If you enjoy this episode, be a hero and share it somewhere. Love ye!
