Lorraine Kelly viewers think presenter was doing Ant and Dec earpiece challenge during ‘odd’ KSI interview

Ant and Dec fans are convinced that Lorraine Kelly was taking part in a hidden earpiece challenge while interviewing KSI.

During Monday’s episode (22 March) of talk show Lorraine, the ITV presenter conducted an interview with YouTuber and rapper KSI.

However, viewers accused Kelly of behaving “erratically” by yawning, blurting out random words, saying that she had a cramp in her leg and that a mouse was running about in the studio.

This led many fans to speculate that Kelly was taking part in the “Get Out Of Me Ear” segment from Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, in which celebrities are told what to say by the duo via a hidden earpiece.

“That interview with @KSI and Lorraine was very odd. She wasn’t interested in the slightest,” one viewer wrote, with another speculating in response that it had been an “Ant and Dec wind up”.

One viewer tweeted: “@lorraine something a bit odd this morning! I think Lorraine might be a part of an Ant and Dec takeaway thing!”

“I reckon she is doing an Ant and Dec wind up, just too erratic, and throwing in random words,” another social media user theorised.

Kelly later said during the episode: “It’s been a strange morning and all will be revealed.”
