Lorraine viewers were left fuming after the ITV show appeared to poke fun at Boris Johnson’s looks during a segment about Brad Pitt’s ageless appearance.
Tuesday’s (4 July) show saw host Lorraine Kelly and her guests Ross King, Dr Hilary Jones and Jo Elvin talking about how good the Ocean’s Eleven star looks at 59.
It was brought up that the former Prime Minister was the same age, which seemed to take Lorraine by surprise.

An image of Boris out for a run was shown, and the TV star exclaimed: “Oh look at that, there is no difference at all!”
However, viewers were unimpressed, with one saying it was “disgusting” to comment on people’s appearance.
“A disgrace to liken Boris to Brad Pitt and then all have a good laugh,” one person tweeted. “Shame on you all.”
“The hypocrisy of these people laughing at someone’s appearance,” said somebody else on Twitter.

“They’re laughing about a man, would they comment the same way about a woman?”
“Body shaming and giggling about Boris is acceptable?” asked another viewer.
Somebody else tweeted: “Wow. Sitting on tv picking apart people’s appearance. Disgusting.”
Another stormed: “So, all laughing at how Boris Johnson looks, compared to how Brad Pitt looks at the same age? How is that ‘fine’ to do? Especially, in this day and age…”

“Because it’s Boris Johnson that’s ok?!” they asked.
