Lorraine Kelly raises awareness of female genital mutilation in the UK

Lorraine Kelly hosts her self-titled show five days a week, though she famously takes her time off during the half term.Usually, Christine Lampard will take over Lorraine's hosting duties for the week, much to many viewers' joy, but Andi Peters seemed to forget.On Wednesday morning Andi was seen in Paris while leading up his usual competition segment, and as he started speaking to Christine about the fact that he's in France and making the most of it.After telling viewers about what they could win if they enter the usual ITV competition, he confessed he had bought a padlock - but with Lorraine's initials on.Standing by lovelock bridge in Paris, he pulled out the padlock which had the letters A.P and L.K engraved into it.Andi confessed that he completely forgot that Christine was on the show as he quickly attempted to rectify the awkward blunder and pulled out a pen.He said: "Christine, I didn't know you were on this week, poor planning, so I had a padlock made but since as we now know after yesterday that Frank doesn't watch, I'll just cross that out and put C.L. Look at that! Now you're talking Christine." Andi proceeded to put their padlock on the bridge with the permanent marker finish of Christine's initials.However, the lock won't look entirely out of place as many people purchase the locks and write their names or initials with a permanent marker too.Christine was definitely happy to be back on screens while Lorraine is taking some deserved time away and relaxing during the half term.

Lorraine Kelly always looks fresh and fabulous hosting her self-titled morning show every day. But when we caught-up with the legendary presenter, she spoke openly to us about her weight gain and the "hilarious" moment last November which prompted her to embark on her wellbeing mission.

But I’m supposed to be a 10.
