EAGLE-EYED Bafta fans claimed to have spotted a huge ITV “feud” between two of the broadcaster’s biggest stars.
It came as presenter Lorraine Kelly, 64, picked up a special Bafta TV Award for her 30 years on-screen – breaking down in tears as she collected her gong.
Lorraine fronts her ITV weekday series of the same name and the gong was in recognition of her services to the TV industry,
Yet one person who fans claimed didn’t look especially delighted was Loose Women’s Judi Love.
They speculated that Lorraine’s fellow ITV star was “so rude” when watching the acceptance speech with pursed lips.
As the camera panned to Judi during scenes of applause, the TV coverage appeared to show her flashing a stern look over her shoulder instead.
Fans think she then attempted to muster a smile as the person in the chair next to her began to chat.
One fan was quick to remark on X: “Judi Love’s reaction to Lorraine’s award.”
A second wrote: “So rudeee lol,” while a third admitted: “I clocked that too.”
Another mused: “Why are the #loosewomen so bitter.”
Yet, of course, Judi likely has no malice, with the camera angle likely not doing her any favours on the night.
Later in the evening, Lorraine was seen looking partied-out as she left the venue.
Cheeky chat
On Monday’s Lorraine, the host made This Morning anchor Ben Shephard blush with her cheeky chat about her custom-made Baftas frock.
Her ITV show saw a presenter shake-up, with Ben, 49, drafted in for the opening scenes.

He led the celebrations for mum of one Lorraine, 64, who then was filmed arriving in the studio through the corridors backstage.
As she arrived in the studio, she gushed over Ben’s Scottish attire and said: “Ben Shephard in a kilt
“Ohh hello, oh look at you you look so beautiful.”
Ex Good Morning Britain anchor Ben then quipped: “I don’t get my knees out for everyone Lorraine.”
Talk then turned to her custom-made silver frock to which she confessed: “I have never had a dress made for me before.
ITV Show Feuds
AFTER fans claimed Judi Love snubbed Lorraine Kelly's Bafta win, we take a look at a few more:
- Lorraine Kelly and Judi Love, 2024: Bafta viewers claimed Judi looked less than impressed when Lorraine collected her gong to mark 30-years of service to daytime telly
- Ruth Langsford and Phillip Schofield, 2019: The feud was started when Ruth made an official complaint against Phil while eight other ITV presenters spoke out about what they described as a “toxic” environment at This Morning.
- It escalated during the same year when Phillip rudely interrupted her while she was presenting a preview of Loose Women during an episode of This Morning, with Phil later sacked from the show in 2023.
- Holly Willoughby and Phil Schofield, 2023: Back in 2023 The Sun revealed how the pair were “barely speaking” off-camera, something which escalated when Phil’s affair with a show runner was exposed
“Sassi Holford made it, she said it should be a hug and not a squeeze, because it’s got a lot of stuff going on inside.
“Like a lovely corset-thing.
“And I didn’t even have to wear a bra Ben Shephard,” to which he let out a laugh.
She continued: “It was all cantilevered,” to which Ben, taken aback, admitted: “It was!”
