Lorraine Kelly is set to reprise a presenting role that she last appeared on 20 years ago. The Scottish host, who has an ITV daytime show named after herself, is soon to appear on rival broadcaster BBC.

Later this month, the 64-year-old will guest host 'Have I Got News For You' for the second time - almost two decades after she last took on the role in 2005.

The BBC programme usually features two teams, one captioned by Ian Hislop and the other by Paul Merton, alongside a special guest panellist. Joining Lorraine as captains are stand-up Maisie Adam and BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Matt Chorley.

Speaking about making a return to the show, Lorraine said: "I'm really looking forward to hosting Have I Got News For You again, for the second time.

"The first time I did it was nearly 20 years ago back in 2005, when Paul and Ian were young whippersnappers. It’s a chance for me to be unleashed... I can’t wait."

Lorraine also admitted she'd like to take part in another popular BBC show, 'Celebrity Race Across the World'. She said that if she was part of the next series, she would ask her daughter Rosie Smith, 30, or her husband Steve Smith, to take part in the race with her.

Lorraine has presented various television shows for ITV and STV, including Good Morning Britain, GMTV, This Morning, Daybreak and her eponymous programme Lorraine since 2010.

Earlier this year, the star was taken aback when she received a special Bafta TV award in recognition of her four-decade-long broadcasting career, her life-changing campaigns, and charity work.

The star took a seven week hiatus from her ITV show this summer, as she had some exciting news on her return - she had become a grandmother.

Her daughter Rosie Smith had welcomed a baby girl called Billie with her fiancé Steve White as Lorraine gushed that she was "bursting with joy".

Updating viewers on becoming Granny Smith, Lorraine said: "I am biased but she is absolutely beautiful.

"And Rosie's great, she's really taken to it. I knew she would anyway, super organised. She really has taken to it so so well and her Steve is an angel. He's been brilliant, already changing nappies, he's so hands on."

Lorraine's episode of 'Have I Got News For You' will air on November 22 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
