While everyone else is bundled up in coats and scarves, Lorraine Kelly has put us all to shame and gone for a swim in Antarctica.

That's right, the presenter ran into the freezing water wearing nothing but her bikini and woolly hat.

Rather her than us...

There's no actual explanation as to why she'd want to torture herself like that, but she's currently on holiday celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary with husband Steve Smith and following in the footsteps of her hero, the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.

She sent in the video update to her ITV show, which was today being looked after by Christine Bleakley.

Lorraine first appeared on a huge coat, hat and gloves, but quickly whipped off the coat.

The 57-year-old said: "This is a first for me. This is Antarctica and I'm going in."

Elsewhere, the presenter recently spilled the beans to Digital Spy about who is the worst celebrity she's ever had to interview and the, er, accolade went to Bruce Willis.

Lorraine accused him of having a "chippy mentality", adding: "I always say to myself, 'Don't do it, don't make everybody's life miserable - and don't have that chippy mentality and don't make everybody's life difficult."

She said that kind of attitude makes everyone feel stressed as no-one is enjoying themselves and she "doesn't see the point".
