Lorraine Kelly Announces Dad's Death with Touching Tribute
- On Saturday, January 10, Lorraine Kelly announced on Instagram that her father, John Kelly, had died aged 84.
- This time last year he was in hospital and had been discharged before the pandemic started, and Lorraine says he later struggled with long-term illness; the family requested privacy while caring for Anne Kelly.
- Posting a photograph of herself with her father, Lorraine recalled he bought her a telescope and watched the moon landings with her; John Kelly worked as a television service engineer and was married to Anne Kelly for over six decades.
- In the hours after the Instagram post, ITV colleagues and public figures including Dawn French, Vanessa Feltz, Ben Shephard and Davina McCall offered condolences, while fans and celebrity friends flooded the comments.
- Lorraine publicly thanked NHS staff at Hairmyres Hospital, especially Ward 13, and said lockdown made not visiting her parents especially difficult as John and Anne Kelly's marriage lasted over six decades.
