Lorraine Kelly was left red-faced after two of her celebrity interviews were disrupted, giggling as she told viewers it was “one of those days”.

The talk show host was supposed to chat to Busted star Matt Willis in the studio on Friday morning’s instalment of Lorraine (25 February) but had to tell viewers that he was stuck in traffic – then her interview with Jason Manford was interrupted by dodgy WiFi.

Willis was supposed to be on the ITV show first, but Kelly told people watching that he wasn't going to make it.

"This is not quite the morning I had expected,” Willis replied.

"I am in North London somewhere,” he said, explaining that he had been in “gridlocked traffic for about an hour”.

Undeterred, Kelly suggested: “Let’s pretend that you are not in the back of a car and that you are here with me.”

After the interview, the TV star said she would be chatting to Manford.

But, starting to laugh, she then told viewers: “Jason Manford is supposed to be joining me now… it’s one of those days!

“We did have him a second ago, and then of course, the interweb broke, so we haven’t got him any more.”
