Lorraine Kelly has revealed that a drunken ninja leap was the key moment that led to her 35-year marriage. The TV presenter, known for her ITV daytime show, shared the anecdote while promoting her new BBC primetime show, Wedding Day Winners.
Kelly, 59, married her husband Steve Smith in 1992 after a whirlwind romance. She recalled that early in their relationship, she performed a drunken ninja leap that impressed him, cementing their bond. 'I did a drunken ninja leap and he thought it was hilarious,' she said.
The couple have been together for 35 years, with Kelly crediting their success to not taking each other for granted and making each other laugh. 'That poor saint has been putting up with me for all that time,' she joked.
Wedding Day Winners, co-hosted with Rob Beckett, sees engaged couples compete in challenges for their dream wedding. The show airs on BBC One on Saturdays, with the first episodes in January.
Kelly said the show is a 'real thrill' and a 'new start' for her, despite being a mainstay on ITV. She added that she is ready for a family show, especially given the current stressful world events.
