ITV's Lorraine takes brutal swipe at Liz Hurley as fans furious
Lorraine criticised a major aspect of Liz Hurley's attire and branded it as "too much"
Lorraine Kelly returned to screens with her ITV talk show, and this time, the presenter dissected the red carpet looks from Wednesday’s (September 10) National Television Awards. During the showbiz segment, she was joined by Vogue Williams and Mark Heyes to talk fashion when a photo of Liz’s plunging gown appeared on screen. Lorraine was taken aback by the look, which put the actress’s cleavage on full display and said that she found the look “too much” and admitted that it was not for her.
The 65-year-old added: “Those bazookas! Good grief! The woman is 60 years old. For me, it was wee bit too much!” Liz arrived at the star-studded annual event with new love, Billy Ray Cyrus, in tow, and later presented an award with new co-star, Rob Rinder after wowing in a low-cut dress. Lorraine’s remark tickled her guests as Vogue joked: “Lorraine, you're gonna wear that to the next thing. The BAFTAs, that's what you're gonna wear that to.”

After Mark claimed that the outfit was “basically a swimsuit,” Lorraine interjected: "Do you know what, if you can do it. She did carry it off, but my goodness, extraordinary.”
Liz was discussed again later in the episode when Lorraine was joined by singer Rick Astley, who joked about approaching 60 and remarked that he “doesn't look like Liz Hurley".
To which, Lorraine confessed: "I'm still in shock, frankly!"
During the NTAs, Liz and Rob Rinder took to the stage to present the Reality Competition award, which was given to I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here.
Before they handed the trophy over, Rob also joked about the Austin Powers star’s daring gown, praising her look and for “defying gravity.”
Lorraine was also at the highly coveted ceremony and opted for a red floor-length, off-the-shoulder dress. She also carried a gold shell clutch bag that matched her pointed heels.
Although she didn’t receive a nomination this year, the presenter’s ITV colleagues at This Morning received the Daytime Award for the first time in two years.
The programme’s 13-year streak was ended in 2023 by The Repair Shop and then last year, when The Chase won.
As the visibly emotional stars took to the stage to accept the award, Alison kicked off the speech and joked: “Oh my goodness, natural order has been restored.”
“Can we just say a massive thank you to each and every person who voted for This Morning, we are so overwhelmed.”
