Lorraine addresses 'bizarre' CBB blunder as she's mistaken for housemate

Lorraine Kelly was quick to address a "bizarre" Celebrity Big Brother blunder on Wednesday's show.

During the latest instalment of the ITV chat show, they aired a rundown of the best bits from Tuesday's episode of Celebrity Big Brother, which launched on Monday evening. As part of the recap, Lorraine aired a clip where contestant Fern Britton was mistaken for the Scottish presenter in an awkward moment.

During the clip in question, fellow contestant and The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star Lauren Simon asked Fern, 66, about Lorraine's recent appearance on James Martin's Saturday Morning, where the Scottish presenter promoted her new book The Island Swimmer. Lauren awkwardly said: "I think I saw you, was it you that's written a book with um, what's the chef called, Martin, I'm sure it was you."

However, Fern was quick to respond: "No, I write novels..." to which Lauren continued: "I'm sure it was you, something to do with diving and the sea, not you?" Fern was left utterly baffled, responding: "Diving and the sea?" before adding: "Oh no, that's Lorraine Kelly!"

Watching the clip on Wednesday's Lorraine, the presenter couldn't stop laughing before adding: "I've never been... so she [Lauren] was getting me mixed up with Fern? I don't know why, it's bizarre! Fern did not look that happy about it to be fair: 'Hang on a minute, that's not one of mine [books]!'", she added of the clip: "Oh that was so silly!"

It comes as Fern admitted she's gone into Celebrity Big Brother because life is too easy for her these days and she was "feeling soft" when ITV bosses made her an offer.
