The incident occrued during Lorraine’s chat with Derek Ross King
Lorraine Kelly addressed a bizarre ‘glitch’ that occurred live on her ITV show Wednesday morning (April 2).
It’s been a hectic week so far for the Scottish TV presenter, who has already had a song written in honour of her and tricked viewers with an April Fools prank.
On Wednesday, Lorraine was joined by her entertainment correspondent Ross King to talk about several stories emerging from Hollywood.
Lorraine and Ross began their conversation with a tribute to Val Kilmar, after it emerged in the early hours of the morning that he passed away.
The 65-year-old Californian actor sadly died from pneumonia, according to his daughter Mercedes in a statement to the New York Times.
Kilmar is most known for his acclaimed work in 1986’s Top Gun, playing Tom Cruise’s rival Iceman in the film that follows students at a navy aircraft school.
With a career that saw him play Batman in Batman Forever and Jim Morrison in the 1991 film The Doors, Lorraine said that his fans can ‘wallow in the movies’.
Ross added that Kilmar’s final on-screen appearance in 2022’s Top Gun Maverick was the perfect ‘bookend’ to a fantastic career after he made a cameo in the legacy sequel.
However, it was during Lorraine and Ross’ discussion on the casting of the four upcoming Beatles’ movies where disaster struck.
It was announced on Tuesday morning (April 1) that Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, Harris Dickinson and Joeseph Quinn will be playing the Liverpool group.
With Ross giving his two cents on the casting, the live feed to him in LA suddenly disconnected. Despite being able to hear Ross talking, his video feed began showing the colourful technical difficulties visual known as SMPTE color bars.
Quickly getting Ross’ camera to work again, Lorraine made sure to assure viewers that everything was okay.
“I think we had a wee glitch there, they’re telling me that we’re back and it’s fine. I think we went to a funny thing. We’re all right, we’re all good,” she said.
Lorraine went on to tell Ross that she’s all for the four Beatles movies as they’re likely to ‘introduce a new generation’ of music fans to the Fab Four.
“It will be fascinating to see, I hope they put in the tough bits as well as the celebrations. I think they will because otherwise there’s no point at all,” she admitted.
Directed by 1917 and Skyfall director Sam Mendes, the four films will all release in April 2028 in what’s being called ‘the first bingeable movie-going experience’.
“Each one is told from the particular perspective of just one of the guys. They intersect in different ways – sometimes overlapping, sometimes not.
“They’re four very different human beings. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply. But together, all four films will tell the story of the greatest band in history,” the director said
