Lorraine Kelly is releasing a song with record-breaking 90s heartthrob

Lorraine Kelly is proving she’s a woman of many talents, and is joining forces with a record-breaking 90s heartthrob.

30 years after Marti Pellow’s rendition of Love Is All Around, he’s collaborating with ITV presenter to release a new charity single, alongside a choir of women who discovered they had breast cancer after watching her chat show.

Lorraine, 64, said she plans to play the song, originally by The Troggs in the 60s, to her baby granddaughter Billie, who was born in August.

Wet Wet Wet covered the song in 1994, and it topped the charts for 15 weeks, and featured as the soundtrack of Four Weddings and a Funeral.

Speaking to the PA news agency, she said: ’30 years ago (my daughter) Rosie was born, and I was listening to the song.

‘Here we are 30 years later, and we will be playing our version of the song to Billie all the time.

‘So hopefully she’ll be singing it, it will be the first thing that she says, which would be really nice, but it sort of completes that circle.

‘And the lyrics are so important – about love.’

Of course, this isn’t the first time fans will have heard her sing, after the Scottish host was unmasked on The Masked Singer earlier this year.

For the last six years, ITV’s breakfast programme Lorraine has promoted the Change And Check campaign to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

Last year’s single, Golden, with Joss Stone and the Change And Check choir went to number one in the UK singles downloads chart.

Reflecting on this year’s charity single, Lorraine said: ‘It was fantastic because we were in a proper, real, true recording studio.’

She added: ‘It was joyful, and the fact that we’re all in it together, this amazing sisterhood along with Marti. It just felt very, very, very special.

“And Marti said, “You will feel at the end of this something really positive and very emotional”. And it really was, there were a lot of tears.’

Marti, 59, former lead vocalist of Wet Wet Wet, told PA: ‘We were at a place called Rak Studios, which has made so many incredible records over the years, massive, huge selling records.

‘It really is up there with Abbey Road and for us to go there to Rak Studios and capture that moment, it was a joy.’

The Change+Check choir joined Lorraine and Marti in performing the song in the studio on Monday.

Speaking to Lorraine beforehand, Marti said: ‘Incredible times and I look back now with such fond memories, it’s been a pivotal time in my career and to rediscover it again with all these beautiful ladies involved in it, and the charity, is just extra special.’

More than 100 women and one man have contacted the Lorraine programme to say they received their diagnosis because of the campaign.
