Lorraine Kelly told 'it's an embarrassment' after ITV host shares snap with rarely-seen husband
Lorraine Kelly's social media followers branded Scotland's defeat against Germany in the opening of the Euros as an embarrassment after she posted a loved up picture of her and her husband.
The couple attended Scotland's opening of the Euro 2024 football match but lost against Germany with 5-1 defeat. Lorraine, 64, posed alongside her hubby Steve among a host of Scottish fans. She captioned the post: "Obviously not the result we wanted but I salute all the brilliant Scotland fans who made the trip over and who had so much hope and faith. It’s by no means over but we are all gutted tonight x."
She added: "Still managing a smile at the end! Me and @stevesmithdundee - we came - we saw we lost - but best footie fans in the world - and we enjoyed the party #noscotlandnoparty #tartanarmy." And within minutes of the ITV host's post, she was met with a slew of comments from fans who expressed their disappointment. In response, one fan said: "The fans did the Scottish team proud, if only it was the other way around, the team was an embarrassment to them."

Another added: "I have lived in Munich for over 20 years and I have seen many football fans come and go. But you Scots were the best, the most likeable and the funniest fans ever. With your tartan and your bagpipe music you flooded the city and I loved watching you celebrate." They continued: "Even though you unfortunately lost, although I wished you would win at some point, I hope you still had a wonderful time in Munich. My next holiday will be to Scotland Thank you for being here." A third said: "A sore one to watch. I was watching it at my grandparents house with my uncle and my pops."
A fourth person commented: "Not the result from the game we wanted. But oh god did the Tartan Army do Scotland Proud. And a fifth penned: "Watching from our home in Spain & so proud of every one of them. Flag flying high here Not the result from the game we wanted. But oh god did the Tartan Army do Scotland Proud." Ahead of the match, held in Munich, Lorraine was seen dressed in a tartan outfit as she revelled in the enjoyment before the game kicked off.
Hosting live alongside sports presenter Connie McLaughlin, Lorraine was spotted jumping up and down to help settle her nerves. And Connie managed to post: "Limbering up with @lorrainekellysmith." At one point, the ITV presenter made a huge blunder when talking to a fan as she got their name wrong. She asked: "Where's Callum? Now Callum..." to which the football fan said: "Connor!" And her blunder was met with a loud cheer from the crowd.
Sweeping the mistake under the carpet, she quipped: "I've been doing it wrong all the time, I've been doing it wrong all the time, I nearly called you Shirley but that's fine!" Back in the studio, Ranvir Singh, shared her concerns over talking to Lorraine while hosting the show. She joked: "By the way, it's slightly nerve-racking because my boss is watching me do her job right now so this is a bit uncomfortable for me! So, off you go!" She added: "Have the time of your life, Lorraine, it is wonderful to see you there!"
