Lorraine Kelly’s New Life: Peace and Happiness with Her Husband BUT it’s the complete opposite of the glamour on stage. It’s deprived and miserable. It’s heartbreaking to hear her share what she has to do.
Lorraine Kelly’s New Life: No Spotlights, No Drama – Just Peace and Happiness with Her Husband
Lorraine Kelly and husband Steve Smith have left luxuries behind for their picturesque Zimbabwe camping trip.
But despite being left ‘mingin’ as they roughed it, the broadcaster, 65, and her partner of 33-years, appeared to love every moment as they got up close and personal with hippopotamuses and crocodiles.
One mishap while travelling in their camper saw Lorraine accidentally brush her teeth with ‘travel wash’ while Steve, who shares daughter Rosie, 31, with his wife, joked the pair’s equal stenches were ‘cancelling each other out’.

Taking to his Instagram he shared a clip of the getaway as the couple dined outdoors and enjoyed the scenery before bedding down in their van.
Steve captioned the video: ‘Another great day at mana pools. One of us brushed their teeth with travel wash ( no me ) before we set off the see what we could find’.
‘Lots@of ele’s antelopes, warthogs, jackals, hippos and crocs. The wild dogs have moved on and we never saw lions but we heard them in the night. Kept me awake!’.

Steve and Lorraine (pictured 2024) are parents to daughter Rosie, 31, who welcomed their first granddaughter back in August 2024.
He went on: ‘We’re both so minging now but at least we’re cancelling each other out! Finally getting used to the 4WD with the funny wee second gear lever and the hub locks. Early night up in the tent at 6 like toddlers before the bitey things come out of the bush ‘
While Lorraine commented: ‘To be fair the travel wash was in the same wash at as the toothpaste and both tubes the same size’.
Steve has famously stayed out of the spotlight and in his wife’s shadow, with Lorraine joking ‘his idea of hell would be a premiere’ – but he understands the demands of her role in the entertainment world.
She previously told The Mirror: ‘He picks up the slack and always has. I couldn’t do what I do if it weren’t for him. He makes me laugh an awful lot. He’s very kind and a brilliant dad.’
Lorraine added: ‘His idea of hell on earth would be at something like a premiere. It would be like having needles stuck in his eyes. That does help. It must be very odd being with someone who enjoys walking down a red carpet.’
The host also lauded her partner for his support when she was going through perimenopause.
She said: ‘It was absolutely horrible. I completely lost myself. My husband didn’t know what was going on. He said, “what can I do, how can I help?” It was him who said, “you have to get some help.”‘
