OHMYGOSSIP — Lorraine Kelly has challenged Boris Johnson to an interview after his headline-grabbing gaffe when he admitted he had no idea who is she.
Boris made a blunder on ‘Good Morning Britain’ last month when he asked “Who’s Lorraine?” as host Susanna Reid introduced the TV veteran’s long-running self-titled ITV show – and the telly star is adamant she wants to give him a grilling.
Speaking during a Mirror Facebook Live event, Lorraine explained: “I have met him a couple of times – but clearly I didn’t make much of an impression. But, absolutely, he can come on my show whenever he likes. We have asked him. But he hasn’t taken up our invitation so far.”
She went on to admit she’s interviewed plenty of other prime ministers, but fears Boris might be opposed to doing a sit-down chat with her.
Lorraine added: “He’s probably the first prime minister I’ve not interviewed. David Cameron came on a few times and Theresa May, and the leaders of the opposition have many times.
“It’s strange. It seems slightly odd. But he hid in a fridge when Piers tried to talk to him. So maybe he doesn’t want to.”
Lorraine was referring to a moment on ‘Good Morning Britain’ back in 2019 when Boris appeared to run into a large fridge to avoid questions from hosts Susanna and Piers Morgan on the eve of the general election.
She previously revealed she’d tried to land a chat with Boris the day after his GMB interview but she’d been turned down.
Speaking on her show, she explained: “It’s so interesting actually because we had Keir Starmer on a couple of weeks ago and obviously for balance, we wanted to get somebody – it would have been lovely to have got Boris Johnson, but obviously Susanna did that brilliant interview with them, and they couldn’t put anyone up today.
“We did ask but they didn’t, they made themselves unavailable which is a shame.”
