Lorraine left stunned as live segment takes bizarre turn

LORRAINE fans were left in hysterics as a resourceful dog became the star of the show on Tuesday’s episode.

Reporter Melissa Nathoo visited past competition winner Kathy and her pet pooch Coda while promoting a tax-free £120,000 Mother’s Day giveaway. 

Melissa interviewed Kathy from her home in Bolton, who told the presenter that she used the windfall to pay off her mortgage.

But viewers were left very distracted during the segment as four-legged animal Coda stood on his hind legs and effortlessly opened the patio door into the garden.

Scottish host Lorraine Kelly missed the hilarious on air gaffe but This Morning presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, were quick to praise the inquisitive animal on his antics.

“We’re going to use up all our time by showing you something that’s just happened in your own show,’ Phillip said on a preview clip for the show as they replayed Coda’s escape.

“Watch this dog – it let’s itself out the door!”

Holly added: “It blew my mind – it’s absolute genius.”

Viewers were also impressed by the talented dog.

One wrote: “Did that dog just open the door!!! A call to BGT is required asap.”

Another posted: “Seen the dog opening the door & going outside was wondering why Lorraine never mentioned it!”

“That dog that let itself out the door is the most exciting thing that’s happened all show,” a third commented.

The bizarre segment comes after Lorraine, 63, hit back at a troll after a vicious swipe about her ‘awful’ hair on her ITV show.

The TV favourite is on our screens every weekday with her self titled show, and receives plenty of comments online about her outfits, topics of discussion and celebrity guests.

One troll decided to take aim at Lorraine’s hair, which is currently collarbone length and with a fringe.

They wrote: “I really think Lorraine needs a makeover hair is awful I’m surprised no one has mentioned this time for a short cut Lorraine.”

However, Lorraine wasn’t afraid to hit back, and replied: “Well good morning – only problem – when I have short hair I look like Wilson from “Castaway “ (if you know you know).”

While Lorraine had shorter hairstyles early in her TV career, in recent years she has favoured a longer length and fringe combo.

Thankfully, Lorraine received plenty of support from her fans, with one writing: “I think you look great Lorraine.”

Another added: “I don’t think you should bother responding, Lorraine. You look fab btw, but I’m so sick of women being reduced to judgement on their appearance and not their skills and general awesomeness.”

A third tweeted: “Why are some people so rude and judgemental what does anyone get out of making nasty, hurtful remarks, I just don’t get it! You look fabulous Lorraine.”

Last week, Lorraine was forced to pull out of her popular show due to illness.
