Lorraine Kelly tries iconic Scottish snack on Gogglebox for the first time and fans all say the same thing

Lorraine Kelly revealed she had never eaten an iconic Scottish snack when her daughter Rosie offered a bite on Gogglebox.

The deep fried mars bar has become somewhat of a traditional food here in Scotland's chip shops and Rosie had bought one for them both to try on Friday's Gogglebox.

Holding a big chippy box, Lorraine and Rosie halved the battered mars bar and tucked in.

"It's still hot," Rosie mentioned.

Taking a bit bite, Lorraine said: "Oh my God, how have I not had one before? I thought it was just a myth!"

"I can feel my jeans getting tighter," Rosie said with a mouthful of mars bar.

"Oh I've got up a dress size, just with that bite," Lorraine joked.

But Gogglebox fans were shocked that the Scottish chat show host had never tried a battered mars bar before.

I’m still shooketh that you had never had a battered Mars bar! M ind you I only had my first about a year ago," one wrote adding the love heart emoji.

Another tweeted Lorraine explaining how she went one step further: " I cannot believe you have never had a deep-fried Mars bar ....turn your Scottish passport over Lorraine! I did a cute thing for a hen night, got mini mars, bounty, Snickers and deep fried them, served with a whipped whiskey cream and fudge sauce for dipping... It went down well x"

A stunned fan wrote: " @reallorraine is Scottish.... And never bloody had a deep fried Mars bar ?!?!? Whitt!!!"

Lorraine has joined the cast of Celebrity Gogglebox with her daughter Rosie and little sausage dog, Ruby for its third season.

You can watch Gogglebox on Channel 4, Fridays at 9pm and on All4.
