Lorraine Kelly left red-faced as daughter Rosie details ‘carnage’ at home

On ITV’s Saturday Morning, James Martin was joined by daytime TV host Lorraine Kelly and her daughter Rosie Smith for another instalment of his cooking show. While preparing two variations of a Singaporean dish, Rosie detailed the carnage she dealt with recently whilst leaving her mother alone to cook.

After discussing Lorraine’s successful 35-year career presenting daytime television, James asked Rosie: “What’s mum really like, give us the gossip on mum, what’s she really like?”

“In the kitchen or generally?” she joked, “I can go with the kitchen, it was a couple of months ago my dad had an accident on his foot and couldn’t cook.

“I was away, so I batch cooked things, and I put them in the fridge and then when I ran out of stuff, I put like pies in to heat up.”

To confirm, James asked: “Batch cook for who?” to which Rosie said: “For mum to then heat up.”

James was taken aback by the revelation as Rosie continued: “I marinated chicken and then labelled it in the fridge what she would have to do.”

Upon hearing Rosie’s confession, Lorraine turned red-faced and admitted she was “ashamed” that she didn’t know how to cook.

James joked: “We have to get her on MasterChef or something,” to which Lorraine fired back immediately: “It would be carnage, I am carnage.”

Getting in on the joke, Rosie teased: “It would be cheese on toast,” but Lorraine insisted: “There’s nothing wrong with cheese on toast, that’s my specialty, to be fair my cheese on toast is very good “

“Because you’ve got people talking in your ear, it has to be to the very second, you’re constantly aware about what people want to get across, there’s a time limit on everything else.

“But the podcast, I suppose, you can do what you want, it must be a revelation for you,” to which Lorraine admitted: “That is the joy.

“We get to really talk to them [the guests], and some of the things people have said, they get so comfortable when they talk.

“I don’t know if it’s because of lockdown, people are really wanting to share really quite profound things, and I found that absolutely brilliant.”

James continued: “I think that if you do that, that’s what I’ve learnt doing this job, with food, people open up because the barrier break is you’re just cooking something to eat.”

Lorraine and Rosie’s podcast explores life’s “what if?” moments while meeting with celebrity guests to discuss turning points, thoughts, and decisions.

The ladies have chatted to guests including Larry Lamb, Shirley Ballas, Craig David and Michelle Visage, and launched series two at the beginning of September.

James Martin’s Saturday Morning airs Saturdays at 9:30am on ITV.
