Lorraine apologises as sensitive Ukraine segment cut off by awkward tech blunder

Presenter Lorraine Kelly suffered a tech blunder during the latest episode of her self-titled ITV show when a clip of Peaky Blinders played prematurely.

The morning host was forced to apologise to viewers when things clearly didn’t go to plan with the video footage on the programme.

Introducing a very serious issue regarding journalists who were recently attacked in Ukraine, a clip was supposed to be shown to viewers at home of the terrifying scenes that took place.

However, viewers were presented with a scene from BBC drama Peaky Blinders instead.

Appearing embarrassed by the unexpected footage, Lorraine apologised profusely for the blunder.

The presenter said: “Oh ok. Sorry, sorry. We’re going to get that for you right now. Here we go.”

Earlier this month, chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team were attacked near Kyiv and Stuart was shot as a result.

Appearing on the ITV show alongside his producer Dominique Van Heerden, the pair explained to Lorraine what took place at the time.

Discussing the situation, Lorraine stressed the fact that even though they tried to escape the firing gunshots, they didn’t know where to go.

Talking about being attacked in the car that they were traveling in at the time, Stuart said: “Dominque said to me later that she knew 100 percent she was going to die in the car, it was going to be better getting out.”

Lorraine added: “It’s so important to show this footage because this is the reality of war it’s terrifying and it’s happening all the time and it’s happening to Ukrainian civilians and it’s really important that we see this.

“That’s why you do what you do.”

Stuart spoke openly on the attack on the morning show

Sharing his experience with Sky news online previously Stuart said: “And then I was hit in the lower back. ‘I’ve been hit!’ I shouted.

“But what amazed me was that it didn’t hurt that bad. It was more like being punched, really.

“It was strange, but I felt very calm. I managed to put my helmet on, and was about to attempt my escape, when I stopped and reached back into a shelf in the door and retrieved my phones and my press card, unbelievably.”
