EMILY PRESCOTT: ‘Pressure was off’ for Lorraine Kelly after male boss said she didn’t make his ‘trousers twitch’
TV presenter Lorraine Kelly tells me she didn’t feel insulted when a male boss said to her: ‘You don’t make my trousers twitch.’
Explaining her reaction to the comment, Lorraine, 62, right, told me at a Women In Journalism event: ‘I was relieved. I wasn’t hired for that.’
The crass remark reassured her that her career did not depend on how she looked. ‘The pressure was off. It meant I didn’t have to worry about having procedures later to keep looking young.’
Now that’s looking on the bright side!

Fawlty Towers legend Andrew Sachs’s granddaughter Georgina Baillie tells me Jonathan Ross is still yet to personally apologise for his role in the ‘Sachsgate’ scandal.
Ross, 61, and Russell Brand, 47, were suspended by the BBC in 2008 after leaving lewd messages about Georgina on Andrew’s voicemail during Brand’s Radio 2 show.
They prank-called Andrew and left comments about Russell’s brief relationship with Georgina. Brand later paid for her to go into therapy.
Artist Georgina reflected on the hurt as she took part in new TV series Days That Shook The BBC.
She doesn’t think it will lead Ross to apologise. ‘He has never seen fit to say a word to me,’ she adds. ‘That says a lot about him.’
