Lorraine Kelly recalls 'uncomfortable' moment Russell Brand touched her thigh on TV

Lorraine Kelly has spoken about the “uncomfortable” moment Russell Brand touched her leg and called her a derogatory name on TV.

The iconic daytime TV presenter, 63, revisited the incident on her ITV show on Wednesday after allegations of rape and sexual assault were made about the 48 year old comedian at the weekend.

Lorraine started her show by addressing a clip of her and Russell appearing together on The Graham Norton Show in 2007. In the clip, the comedian was asked a question about his movie work before touching Lorraine’s thigh.

He then exclaimed: “You’re wearing suspenders, Jesus Christ! I’ve taken off more than I can chew. I’m out of my depth.” As Lorraine laughed, covered her mouth and tried to shush him, Russell added: “Yes I have been in other films but it doesn’t seem so important now I know Lorraine Kelly’s a s**t.” Speaking about the moment on her show on Wednesday, Lorraine said she had laughed along because everyone was, as that was the comedian’s “schtick”, but she felt “uncomfortable” looking back at it now. “I usually got the charming Russell, the flirty Russell,” Lorraine said, before showing the old clip.
