LORRAINE Kelly looked partied out after picking up her Special Award at last night’s Baftas.
The gran-to-be showed no signs of slowing down as she clutched her gong in the backseat of a cab.
The biggest night in the telly calendar hailed a host of A-list stars including Sarah Lancashire, Timothy Spall and Hannah Waddingham.
However Lorraine was the star of the show after scooping the Academy’s most prestigious accolade at the bash in London‘s Royal Festival Hall.
The bubbly host strutted the red carpet with Gogglebox star daughter Rosie, 29, and showbiz stylist Mark Hayes, 47.
Lorraine’s camera-shy hubby Steve waited for his stunning wife backstage but was later snapped in a taxi after the bash.
Inside the venue, Lorraine was overcome with emotion after collecting her award.
The Scots presenter watched a film about her impressive four-decade-long career.
Succession star Brian Cox paid tribute to the “queen of daytime TV”, who has hosted ITV chat show Lorraine for the past 30 years.
He described her as having “infectious humour, boundless enthusiasm and genuine, genuine kindness”.

During her moving speech, Lorraine said “don’t pull up the ladder” to those from working-class backgrounds to break into the TV industry.
“I suppose if I’ve learned anything at all over the past 40 years, it’s what’s the point of having all that experience if you don’t actually share it, and if you don’t actually pass it on, and help other people,” she said.
The sofa queen last month discovered that daughter Rosie is expecting her first child.
Elsewhere Lorraine left ITV co-host Ben Shephard red-faced as she made a very revealing confession about her Baftas frock.
Monday’s episode of her ITV show saw a presenter shake-up, with This Morning anchor Ben, 49, drafted in for the opening scenes.
