TV icon Lorraine Kelly has left fans gobsmacked after revealing her bizarre dental hygiene secret: brushing her teeth with washing powder.
The beloved presenter, known for her down-to-earth personality, made the surprising confession during a lighthearted discussion about her life in Zimbabwe with husband Steve Smith.
A Most Unusual Dental Routine
"I know it sounds absolutely bonkers," Lorraine chuckled as she described her unconventional cleaning method. "But when you're in the bush, you make do with what you have!"
The 63-year-old explained that during their frequent visits to Zimbabwe, where Steve runs a safari business, she's developed this unusual approach to oral care.
From Scottish Studios to African Adventures
The couple, married since 1992, have long split their time between the UK and Africa. Lorraine admitted that adapting to life in the wilderness has led to some creative solutions.
"You'd be amazed what works in a pinch," she said with her trademark wit. "Though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for everyday use back home in Scotland!"
Fans React to the Revelation
Social media erupted with reactions to Lorraine's admission, with many followers expressing shock while others praised her practical approach.
One fan tweeted: "Only Lorraine could make washing powder sound like a reasonable toothpaste alternative!" while another joked: "Next she'll be telling us she uses fabric conditioner as mouthwash!"
Despite the unconventional method, the presenter maintains her trademark sparkling smile - proving that sometimes, thinking outside the box pays off.
