Lorraine Kelly forced to apologise to Idris Elba after ‘rude and naughty’ comment

Lorraine Kelly was in a fit of hysterical laughter as she apologised profusely to Idris Elba, saying she “needs to go and lie down”.

The ITV host spoke to the actor about his new Apple TV+ series Hijack, but couldn’t miss the opportunity to talk about the James Bond rumours that he can’t seem to shake off.

Rather than ask if Idris would be taking on the title role though, Lorraine, 63, suggested he’d be better off joining the franchise as a villain, as she could “see him stroking a white pussy”.

She said: “Look, you keep getting asked about James Bond… can we turn it on its head, because I think you would be an amazing Baddie in James Bond.

“I was going to say I can see you stroking a white pussy, but I shouldn’t say that because that’s naughty and rude and we’ll take that out, thank you very much. We won’t put that in.”

Idris chuckled as he said: “It’s out there now! I’ve got it in my head now, the image.”

Immediately realising her rather X-rated slip of the tongue, Lorraine burst into laughter and apologised to Idris, saying: “I’m so sorry!”

The interview eventually got back on track and Lorraine apologised again as she said goodbye, saying: “I’m so sorry, I need to go and lie down!”

Speaking from the studio, Lorraine said she’d meant to say the more innocent “cat” instead of “pussy”.

Viewers were divided by the slip of the tongue, with one laughing: “Idris Elba just comes across as the coolest guy ever! Would love to see him as Bond (or the baddie stroking the white pussy).”

Another said: “It wasn’t [funny]. In the slightest. She just tried to force it on us because ‘she’s so zany’.”

Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV
