Lorraine Kelly transforms into Adele with blonde wig and huge fake nails


Lorraine Kelly has transformed into pop superstar Adele for an incredible photoshoot.

The ITV presenter, 62, looked unrecognisable in a blonde wig, huge fake nails and sporting winged eyeliner as she was given a makeover just like the singing diva.

Lorraine joined forces with Heat magazine for their annual end of year highlight as she recreated Adele's Easy On Me music video.

The TV host admitted that she thinks Adele is 'the best singer in the world' so it seems to be a dream come true to be able to be her for a day.

Lorraine also shared that she'd never been blonde before so it's a 'big deal' for her.

"This really is such a highlight for me. I just wish I could channel some of Adele’s talent! She is the best singer in the world," she gushed.

"I’ve never been blonde in my life, so this is a big deal for me. I’m so interested to see what I look like with blonde hair, and I’ve never had giant nails, either."

Lorraine explained how she loves how Adele tends to put music out every so often then takes time for herself out of the spotlight.

She added: "I love how Adele comes every five years, dominates the showbiz agenda, and then p***** off again and has her life! I think it’s so brilliant, I really do."

But she worried that she might be offended as Lorraine is older than her, as she said: "I love her, so this is a homage to her. I’m paying tribute to the goddess that is Adele. I just hope she doesn’t mind a woman of my age being her!"

The TV show host talked about her transformation on her ITV programme Lorraine, on Tuesday when she said she had fun pretending to be the popular artist.

She said: "We had such fun doing that, you know where you need cheering up sometimes. I thought this is fantastic, what a great excuse to play dress up!"

The Scottish star recently received a CBE for her services to Broadcasting, Journalism and Charity during an investiture at Windsor Castle.

She's been made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire which is the highest ranking British Empire award.

The ITV host was given an OBE by the Queen at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, during her Diamond Jubilee back in 2012.

Lorraine found out that she'd be given the award last year and said she got 'extremely drunk' when she found out the exciting news.

At the time she said: "It's lovely. It's a great excuse. I got extremely drunk on Friday night. I just thought: 'I probably would have done anyway' but I got even more so!"
