Whilst Laura Whitmore and her husband Iain Stirling have been very secretive about the details of her pregnancy, Lorraine Kelly… well, hasn’t…
After the Love Island host appeared on Lorraine’s daytime show to promote her new book No One Can Change Your Life Except For You, which promotes female positivity, the legendary TV presenter appeared to accidentally reveal the gender of Laura’s unborn baby.
Speaking to Laura, Lorraine asked, “This book this comes from person experience, it’s lessons you have learnt along the way isn’t it? And also advice that you want to pass on to your baby girl.”
Laura then appeared to look rather shocked as she stumbled over her response saying, “Yeah, erm, well my baby, erm, yeah” and then pointed out that the book wasn’t written when she knew she was pregnant.
