Lorraine Kelly has revealed that she plans to take legal action over a tweet that claimed she had lost a stone in just six weeks.
The 63-year-old TV presenter caught the attention of the Twitter account, which goes by the username @gettravl, in an angry post on Wednesday afternoon.
The tweet claimed that Lorraine had lost weight after going on a new diet, which Lorraine’s host was quick to dispute after noticing the claims online.
Furious: Lorraine Kelly has revealed that she plans to take legal action over a tweet that claimed she had lost a stone in weight in just six weeks.
Lorraine replied: ‘This is complete nonsense and I have reported it; please don’t believe in this utter nonsense.’ I am furious and will seek legal advice.
Some of Lorraine’s followers were supportive, telling her that they had also denounced the false claims in the tweet.

While Lorraine has responded to claims that she has lost weight due to a new fad diet, the TV presenter has lost 1.5 stone thanks to a healthy diet and exercise.
Lorraine showed off the results of her hard work as she posed in a figure-hugging pink dress on her Instagram in November, where she looked sensational.
She posed up a storm in the chic number that she paired with matching shoes, as well as sharing a previous weight loss before the snap while eating pizza.
Wow! While Lorraine has responded to claims that she had lost weight due to a new fad diet, the TV presenter has lost 1.5 stone thanks to a healthy diet and exercise.
She wrote in the caption: ‘Wow I can’t believe both photos are mine! I’ve dropped two dress sizes, lost a stone and a half, and best of all, it’s easy to maintain, all thanks to @ww.uk.
‘The WW program has helped me create and maintain healthy habits. The app helps me keep track of what I’m eating, how much I’m sleeping, and what exercise I’m getting, as well as making sure I’m drinking enough water and giving me lots of delicious recipes to cook (or at least try haha! ).
‘I feel happier and healthier and I love sharing my experiences with the WW community. Click the link in my story to join me in feeling happier and healthier.’

In June, Lorraine praised her weight loss for bringing her “joie de vivre” back and enriching her relationship with husband Steve Smith.
The broadcaster signed up for WW in an attempt to lose a few pounds after steadily gaining weight during lockdown and after Christmas, and has gone from 11lbs 10lbs to 10lbs 3lbs since January.
And the breakfast TV legend claims her self-esteem has gotten a boost while she’s lighter.
Making changes: In June, Lorraine praised her 1.5-stone weight loss for restoring her “zest for life” and enriching her relationship with husband Steve Smith (pictured left after her weight loss and right at November 2021)
she told the Mirror: ‘It has made life so much easier. I know I wasn’t the only one who gained weight from the pandemic. I think many of us ate comfortably.
‘I’ve certainly got my zest for life back. It has improved my confidence tremendously. I feel like I can take on anything right now.
Lorraine said she started to enjoy chocolate and a glass of wine during lockdown, with the amount of sweets she consumed increasing to ‘huge’ amounts by the end of the week, and for breakfast she would eat croissants or scones.
On the cause of his WW start, he said: ‘It was a combination of things. I definitely overindulged on Christmas, as we all do. I was finding that a size 14 was too tight for me.’
While she stated that there was nothing wrong with being a size 16, she added that she did not want to reach that dress size personally, saying that her “fighting weight” is a size 10.
Lorraine said she relished the opportunity to wear a smaller dress at the Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards 2022 earlier this year, and felt much more confident about presenting an award, as she wasn’t as concerned about how looked or felt.
And she said her weight loss has reinvigorated her relationship with her husband Steve.

She explained: ‘Steve says, ‘I’ve got you back,’ because my energy levels have improved. I’m up for things now, whereas before, on the weekends, I’d do some housework and then collapse in front of the TV.
Lorraine added that Steve likes to be a part of the healthier kitchen and adds recipes to his menu as he goes along.
And, while she admits the couple may have a party but aren’t planning on renewing their wedding vows for their 30th anniversary in September, she’d be back in her wedding dress.
