Lorraine Kelly takes swipe at Billie Eilish following Grammy Awards 2020 success

Lorraine Kelly appeared to take a swipe at Billie Eilish on her ITV programme following the singer’s Grammy Awards success.

The host was discussing the ceremony with entertainment reporter Ross King when she went into her infamous ‘smiling assassin' mode.

But it wasn’t Billie’s vocal talents that the 60-year-old presenter commented on - it was the outfit that she wore for the awards, which was held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Billie is known for her non-conformist outlook on style - and her ensemble at the event was no different.

The 18-year-old rocked up the red carpet in an oversized neon and black suit, with fingerless gloves to accommodate her long nails, complete with a matching hairstyle.

Ross started out with a rather diplomatic assessment of her outfit: “Billie Eilish, what a night it was for her. Five out of six wins.

“She looked, err, it was a little different… she always does, you know, change it up a bit doesn’t she? It looked like Gucci to me.”

But Lorraine wasn't as tactful.

“Oh does it?” remarked the Scottish host. “I’m not sure about that.

“I am not sure about all of that, really.”

But Lorraine quickly recovered and continued to gush at how talented Billie is.

“But.. amazingly talented young woman. I can’t wait to see what she’s going to come up with next.”

Nice save, Lorraine.

Billie won't be too bothered by the comments - the singer scooped five awards including best new artist, album of the year and song of the year for Bad Guy.

Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV.
