The Lorraine Christmas day special left its host in hysterics over the suggestive name of a Christmas cocktail.
Lorraine Kelly, 64, prepared each of her guests a ‘Twinkle’ – a cocktail most commonly drunk on Christmas Day.
The alcoholic beverage features vodka, elderflower liqueur, and champagne (or sparkling wine.) On the couch was health editor Hilary Jones, stylist Mark Heyes, entertainment editor Ria Hebden, and LA correspondent Ross King.
Once each of Lorraine’s guests had received their Twinkles and taken a sip, Lorraine asked: ‘So, erm. What do you think of my Twinkle?’ before bursting into fits of giggles.
‘It’s been a while since I’ve seen you twinkle. Or indeed tasted your twinkle.’ Ross, 61, joked. ‘But I’d like to say it looks lovely, and it tastes lovely, too.’

During the whole interaction Lorraine had her pet dog Ruby on her lap who wore a tiny elf hat with a red pom pom at the end.
She asked if Ruby should have some Twinkle, before opting to keep it to herself.
After tasting her creation, Lorraine said: ‘That is brilliant. I’m loving it, so we’re all going to go for Twinkles?’ Her guests responded in the affirmative.
The giddy host looked incredible wearing a red velvet dress as she sipped from her festive drink.
At one point, she pulled a series of animated expressions as her pet pooch wriggled around.
Ruby was also dressed for the occasion wearing a knitted elf hat and a matching outfit.
It’s been a tough time for Lorraine who broke down in tears on December 15 as she remembered show producer Hannah Hawkins who died aged just 33.
The ITV team member was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2020 and went into remission the following year. Tragically, two days before she welcomed her son Rory in August this year, she was told her cancer had returned.
During the episode, Lorraine was joined by Hannah’s husband Tom and their son to discuss her legacy and listen to a song which has been dedicated to her memory.
Together they listened to charity single Golden from the Check and Change choir, made up of breast cancer survivors and featuring Joss Stone.
Cutting back to the studio, Lorraine was seen as she wiped away her tears and told baby Rory: ‘That’s your mummy’s song, that’s your mummy’s song.’
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9 am.
