Loose Women kicked off Monday’s episode with Judi Love revealing what really happened at Sunday’s BAFTA TV awards after she was filmed looking unimpressed in the crowd as everyone clapped Lorraine Kelly for her win
Judi Love has revealed Lorraine Kelly’s honest response after she was caught looking unimpressed in the crowd as everyone clapped the Scottish presenter for her special win at Sunday’s BAFTA TV awards.
Kicking off Monday’s Loose Women, Judi, 43, who spoke out before the ITV chat show airing, revealed what really happened and Lorraine’s, 64, response after she saw her at the ITV studios earlier today (13 May).
Judi explained: “You know what, my dress was very tight, I was trying to sit like a lady. The camera was right there, I thought: ‘Okay, this is your moment’ you know it’s going to be on TV, so I just always get prepared.
“I was trying to be regal, the thing is, I stood up and gave Lorraine a standing ovation. They showed the bit with Andi standing up but missed me out, only showing me going…” as she recreated the face.

Judi continued: “My eyes are so big anyway and I’ve got a very expressive face.” Talking about bumping into Lorraine earlier on Monday after Sunday’s BAFTA TV awards, Judi said: “Well, I walked up to Lorraine and as I was about to come [over], she put her hand up and I thought: ‘Oh my gosh, this is going to be it!’
“She said: ‘Judi!’, the Queen that she is. I went: ‘Oh my God, babes, have you seen the meme, have you seen the side eye?’ She was like: ‘Oh, seen it, I know you, love you, you love me, I’m good.’ So we did our own version to all the people who tried to make this something it wasn’t.”
Lorraine had taken to the stage to receive her award on Sunday night to mark her 40 years on TV, which was handed to her by Succession star Brian Cox. As she bowed out of her acceptance speech, Lorraine cheerfully quipped: “I’m on the telly tomorrow, but I’m going to celebrate tonight. Thank you so much!”
Cameras then showed I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec grinning cheerfully while clapping away. Then The Sixth Commandment star Anne Reid was shown politely clapping along.

But as cameras moved to Judi, she could be seen looking far from impressed, seemingly refusing to applaud, and rolling her eyes. The moment was seized upon by those watching the awards show from home – sparking a flurry of amused commentary.
Prior to Loose Women, Judi had the perfect response to the viral moment in a cheeky social media post. Taking to Instagram, she shared a clip of the moment and wrote: “After last night incident and now this morning becoming international news! I’d like to make an official statement.. Swipe left! @lorraine @lorrainekellysmith.”
In the following clip from this morning at the ITV studios, Judi and Lorraine stand back-to-back, with Judi side-eyeing the Scottish legend. Feigning a disapproving stare, Lorraine has her arms folded before they both burst into laughter.
