Lorraine Kelly has showed off her 'real body' in a bikini picture as she told fans 'I've got a belly' during her ITV programme.

The beloved presenter, 65, shared the snap on Thursday's show as she stripped down to a white bikini from a recent holiday.

Lorraine was joined in studio by Jeremy Clarkson's daughter Emily Clarkson to discuss the dangers of using online filters to alter pictures before posting them on social media.

Emily, 30, is known for her candid posts on social media about body positivity. 

During the conversation, Lorraine's pool snap was used to demonstrate what technology could do to 'tweak' images.

For viewers at home and in the studio, Lorraine's original capture was placed next to an altered version, showing her body noticeably altered.

There were other noticeable tweaks to her arms and bust, with Lorraine admitting she first 'laughed' when she saw the changes.

She said: 'It just shows you what you can do now.

'It depends on what you're using it for. They did it with me, and I looked at it, and I actually laughed! I thought, crikey!' 

Pointing out the authenticity of the original picture, the Scottish star continued: 'That's more kind of normal, I've got a belly, who hasn't?'

Lorraine then recalled when she stripped off on her show nine years ago for The Bikini Promise.

It was a five-week program that aimed to help viewers feel confident in their bikinis, no matter their age, size or shape.

Lorraine jokingly recalled: 'I did lather on the fake tan, and, as you can see, I was the colour of a satsuma!'

ITV have recently slashing the duration of Lorraine's show from 60 to just 30 minutes, with the long-running programme becoming seasonal only.

MailOnline previously told how Lorraine was given the chance by ITV bosses to merge her daytime show with Good Morning Britain to present the last 30 minutes of their broadcast, but she declined.

She, was pulled into a meeting prior to the channel's budget cuts announcement last month where she was offered the new proposal, which was considered an 'easy fix' after the same format was adopted during the pandemic.

Sources said that Lorraine was 'insulted' by the suggestion and told bigwigs it wasn't a possibility, resulting in the reduced runtime of her show from an hour to 30 minutes.

Lorraine, who has presented her show for the past 14 years, was prepared to 'walk away' but agreed to continue hosting the series until the end of 2026.

The star is predicted to quit for good next year after a new role titled, Head of Lorraine, was created to oversee the changes, but the contract is only for a 12-month period.
