On 6 September 2010, the first edition of the programme aired. A preview on
Daybreak revealed the new studio look as spacious and coloured in a variety of pastel hues and decorative motifs dominated by pink. The sofa for the presenter and guests was pink and arranged in a semicircle around a central internally lit coffee table similar to that used for
Daybreak. Lorraine's first guest was actress
Gemma Arterton. The first programme also featured an interview with
Sky News reporter
Sarah Parish and a recipe by TV chef
James Tanner while
Celia Walden and
Kevin Maguire reviewed the morning's newspapers. On 20 October 2014, the programme was briefly taken off air after a fire alarm forced its occupants to evacuate the studio on London's South Bank. Kelly was about to interview eliminated
X Factor contestant Stephanie Nala from
Luminites when they were interrupted by the alarm at 9:10am. A spokeswoman for
Lorraine said: "An alarm was raised within ITV this morning and the area was immediately evacuated. Once it had been investigated and deemed safe, people were able to re-enter the building." Lorraine Kelly wrote to fans on Twitter: "So sorry. We had to evacuate the building. First time in 30 years!" The show didn't make it back onto the air and the last 15 minutes was replaced by an episode of
The National Trust and then followed by
The Jeremy Kyle Show as normal. In February 2016, ''Lorraine's Top Tales'' was launched, a competition to find new children's author with
Nadiya Hussain and
Tom Fletcher as judges. In April 2018, and along with the rest of
ITV Breakfast,
Lorraine began broadcasting from
BBC Studioworks'
Television Centre. The move was as a result of the proposed redevelopment of
The London Studios; however in October 2018, it was announced that ITV would not be returning to the South Bank. On 6 January 2020, the show moved to a new time slot from 9:00am to 10:00am, with
Good Morning Britain and
This Morning both extended by 30 minutes. Production on
Lorraine was suspended from 23 March to 10 July 2020 due to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
Good Morning Britain was extended to 10am, with the final hour presented by Kelly and titled
Good Morning Britain with Lorraine. During this time, the programme's run-time crossed the 9:25 a.m. ending of the official
ITV Breakfast slot (6:00–9:25 a.m.), which is wholly owned by
ITV plc. This is why viewers in most of Scotland would see
ITV1 branding surrounding the first 25 minutes of the show, and
STV branding for the remainder of the time slot. In May 2025, ITV announced major budget cuts to its daytime lineup, with
Lorraine transitioning to a 30-week school-term schedule, and being cut to a half-hour program beginning in January 2026. A half-hour extension of
Good Morning Britain will air in place of
Lorraine when it is not on the air. In October, it was announced that
Multistory Media would take over production of the series at the same time, following the merger of ITV Studios Daytime into the label. The final broadcast from Television Centre was on 25 December 2025. On 5 January 2026,
Lorraine moved to
The H Club Studio alongside its
ITV Daytime counterparts. The programme relaunched with a new set and updated titles and graphics, with the remaining of the music from before. ==Presenters==
