ITV's Lorraine Kelly says she's 'going to hell' as she leaves celebrities in shock with sweary outburst

Lorraine Kelly has joked that she's 'going to hell' after she shouted at one of the country's best-loved characters. The ITV presenter left a host of famous faces lost for words in a skit for BBC Children In Need.

The comic clip – which was shown on Lorraine's self-titled daytime show on Friday (November 18) before being shown during BBC One's charity appeal show – also featured Peter Andre, Deborah Meaden, Natalie Cassidy and, of course, Pudsey Bear.

During the skit, which is set in a Children In Need office, actor Lenny Rush speaks to the camera and expresses his delight at what a wonderful employee Lorraine is. “One person who is not giving me any trouble at all this year is Lorraine Kelly," he said. "She’s one of the loveliest people on TV."

The clip then cut to show the 62-year-old TV star speaking kindly to someone on the phone, before she asked them to "hold on a wee second". And then to the surprise of her fellow office staff, Lorriane launched into an expletive-laden rant across the room, during which the swearing was beeped out and her mouth covered by a cartoon Pudsey logo.

"That's so generous! Actually, could you just hold on a wee second, poppet? Just hold on for me for a minute," she said. "[Beep] How many times have I told you [beep] to shut up? Honest to [beep] shut up [beep] shut up! I cannot concentrate on what I'm [beep] doing here!"

During the comical rant, various celebrities who are also taking calls around the office react, with singer Peter being the first to respond as he spat out his glass of water in shock. Dragons’ Den stars Deborah 63, and Peter Jones both looked on at Lorraine in disbelief, with Deborah appearing outraged while Peter 56, cowered behind a desk-dividing screen in fear.

Then, as a life-sized Pudsey Bear appeared from around the corner, Lorraine redirected her anger to the BBC Children In Need mascot, before returning to her caller in her usual kind and gentle manner.

After the clip aired on her Lorraine show, the host said: "That was just such a laugh to do. Poor Pudsey Bear. Shocked." She then joked she was "going to hell" for shouting at Pudsey as she spoke to comedian Chris Ramsay via video link.

Chris, who presented the live fundraising show on Friday evening alongside Ade Adepitan, Mel Giedroyc, Alex Scott and Jason Manford, jokingly replied: “Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.

"I knew the nice facade dropped, I knew now and then. But I thought you just maybe went home and swore into a pillow for 40 minutes. I didn’t think you swore at Pudsey, I can’t believe it."
