Lorraine Kelly has been praised by fans after donating all her old underwear to charity, for a cause which sits close to her heart.

Scottish TV icon Lorraine, 64, was flooded with support from fans in announcing she was joining forces with Bracrafts, where all items are put up for auction with funds going towards breast cancer charities in October next month. The ITV host announced the news on social media yesterday.

In a short clip posted on her Instagram page, Lorraine flaunted her old undies, and various ideas of what different bra parts could be designed into and recycled. These included photo frames, ornaments and even bracelets.

One fan hailed: "That's brilliant and beautiful," as another jokingly wrote: "So sweet. What a great idea. I burned mine in the ‘60’s," with a third hailing: "I love this, how clever," alongside heart emojis.

Someone else quipped: "This is awesome…would love to have a wee fairy," as another echoed: "Fabulous way to recycle. love all the little fairies and angels."

Cancer is a very close charity to Lorraine's heart. Having previously lost one of her close ITV colleagues in November 2023, the presenter paid tribute previously to the sad passing of Hannah Hawkins, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at just 25.

Hannah was first diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago and went into remission in 2021. But, two days before she welcomed her son, her condition had rapidly deteriorated and the cancer had returned.

The Scots TV presenter who worked alongside Hannah on her show, reposted husband Tom's post and penned: "The saddest news." Hannah joined Lorraine's team last year after working at Capital Radio.
