LORRAINE’S NOT FEELING HERSELF

awww, that’s fantastic! TV presenter lorraine Kelly has won a big case against the taxman by arguing that she appears on TV not as herself, but as an entertainer portraying a supercheery, empathetic wee character who doesn’t actually exist.

‘i am a McFake,’ is what she appears to be saying, but didn’t we know that anyway? Ms Kelly (above) told the tax tribunal she was an entertainer because she played ‘a version’ of herself on her iTV show. So the lorraine Kelly who appears as lorraine Kelly on lorraine is not the real lorraine Kelly but a theatrical construct.

She won her appeal against a £900,000 tax bill and £ 300,000 National insurance demand. That’s the real drama. Take a bow, lorraine, whoever you are.
