addressed a swollen eye she suffered following a horror fall. The favourite took to social media and addressed viewers’ concern and revealed she slipped over her own feet which resulted in her having a black eye.
It comes after an X user praised Lorraine’s appearance on . The person in question wrote, “There is literally nothing wrong with @reallorraine at all. Shes an older woman who looks pretty fantastic if you ask me.”
Taking to the micro-blogging site today (March 6) the 65-year-old explained she had a small incident at home.
Lorraine replied: “Thanks Mark. I actually took a tumble over my own two feet at home and bashed into our big wooden rhino (as you do) my fab make up artist @HelenHandMakeUp expertly covered up the damage to my eye – I’ve a right keeker!”
Social media users flocked to comment on the post as they offered their well wishes to the presenter.

One wrote: “Ouch!! Hope it recovers quickly for you,” another said: “Oh Lorraine I know how you feel , I fell over backwards ,lost my footing out of the outhouse last year clinging onto a pair of stepladders and severely bruised both legs and a bruised rib. Felt a right idiot and it hurt!!”
A third added: “Hope you recover soon.”
Lorraine made an appearance on Loose Women later in the day when she went into further detail about her injury.
But before they got into the chat, she wanted to address the speculation about her face, after many of those watching at home had got in touch with her to share their worry.

Lorraine explained: “Yesterday, you know as woman, when we try to do too many things at one time, and we try to do it really fast…
“So I had a massive bag of washing, like a washing basket, I couldn’t see, and I was going from the kitchen to the living room, and there was a wee step.
“My slippers are too big and I fell over and fell onto a rhino!”
She continued: “I thought ‘Oh it will be fine!’ but I woke up this morning with the biggest shiner, this big black eye!”
Lorraine explained that lots of “lovely” viewers asked if she had allergies, but confirmed that this was not the case.
