Scottish television legend Lorraine Kelly is among those being recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

The veteran presenter, who used to live in Broughty Ferry, is to be made a CBE by the Queen for her services to journalism and her charity work.

Lorraine said she was humbled by the “unexpected honour” and that “front line workers are far more deserving”.

Her charity work includes supporting Help For Heroes, Muscle Help Foundation and the STV Children’s Appeal.

She was made an OBE in the 2012 New Year Honours.

While born in Glasgow, Lorraine lived in Broughty Ferry for several years before selling her seven-bedroom home to move south for work in 2018.

She has described herself as an “adopted Dundonian” and is a keen supporter of Dundee United.

In a decades-spanning career she has worked on shows including GMTV, This Morning and the eponymous Lorraine.

She said: “This is such an unexpected honour I’m very grateful and humbled. Particularly as I am in far more deserving company — especially all of those front line workers who are true heroes.

“I’ve worked in journalism since I left school in 1978 and joined my local newspaper and have been lucky to have been on breakfast TV for 36 years. It’s a job I never take for granted and that I dearly love.

“I’ve met some truly inspirational people and I learn something new every day. It’s also been a real privilege  to be in a position to be able to give something back and help charities that do so much good.”

Lorraine is to present a film about the 25th anniversary of the Dunblane tragedy.

Dunblane 25 Years On with Lorraine Kelly will follow the presenter, who reported on the events for GMTV in March 1996 and subsequently forged ties with a number of residents.

In the film, Kelly will revisit the town and talk to survivors and families of the victims. It is expected to be aired next year, to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the tragedy.
