Ross King, the Scottish showbiz correspondent for ITV's Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, bid an emotional farewell to producer Hannah Walker during her final day on the programme. The segment, which aired on Wednesday, saw King take a moment from his usual Hollywood news to honour Walker's contribution.
Speaking to stand-in host Christine Lampard, King addressed the camera with a mix of dance moves and melancholy, saying: 'Weird dancing but with a little bit of sadness as my wonderful pal and producer Hannah Walker, it's her last day on this show so Hannah, I want to say to you, huge hugs from Hollywood, lots of real love from La La land.' He added: 'You will be missed, but we'll see you again soon enough and hope to see you again too, take care, lots of love, thanks for everything.'
Christine Lampard warmly responded: 'Awww we love that,' and expressed gratitude for the heartfelt goodbye. King, 62, originally from Glasgow, has been a regular on Lorraine since 2001 and on Good Morning Britain since 2014, reporting from Los Angeles.
The farewell comes as Lorraine Kelly enjoys a week off during the half-term holidays, with the show left in the hands of stand-ins like Lampard and Ranvir Singh. However, Kelly's absence has sparked speculation on social media, with one viewer noting she has hosted only 48 out of 72 episodes this year, prompting calls to rename the show.
