Lorraine Kelly has dished out a classy response to the Prime Minister after he seemingly forgot who she was.
Last month, after being grilled on Good Morning Britain over the Partygate scandal, Boris Johnson ended his interview with a savage quip, asking Susanna Reid : "Who's Lorraine?"
His blunder came as Susanna did the usual Good Morning Britain handover link to Lorraine’s show after interviewing the flustered PM over the Downing Street party fiasco.
The PM's official spokesperson at the time said: “I think, as was clear, the prime minister was not fully across the ITV daytime line-up this morning, but you’ll appreciate he has a number of issues to deal with on his desk.”
However, after that brutal burn, the ITV daytime host has extended an open invitation for the PM to join her on her show 'whenever he likes'.
“I have met him a couple of times - but clearly I didn’t make much of an impression,” Lorraine told the Mirror.
“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.
“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.”
And while Lorraine can laugh off the snub, she can’t laugh off the scandal.
“The whole thing was shameful, absolutely dreadful,” she says.
“I don’t think anyone will forget that image of the Queen on her own grieving her husband while parties were going on at Number 10.
"That happened to grieving people all over the country.
“The saddest thing is we have lost trust in politics generally.”
