Lorraine Viewers Outraged as Show Mocks Boris Johnson's ...

Viewers of popular ITV show Lorraine were left fuming after an episode appeared to make fun of Boris Johnson‘s looks during a segment focusing on Brad Pitt‘s seemingly ageless appearance. The episode, which aired on Tuesday (4th July), featured host Lorraine Kelly along with guests Ross King, Dr Hilary Jones, and Jo Elvin discussing how good Brad Pitt looks at the age of 59.

To Lorraine‘s surprise, it was brought up that the former Prime Minister is also 59 years old. Gasping in disbelief, Lorraine exclaimed, “Oh my gosh! They are the same age.” As an image of Boris Johnson out for a run was shown, she further exclaimed, “Oh look at that, there is no difference at all!”

According to a report by Dailystar.co.uk, the show’s comments quickly caused an uproar on social media, with viewers expressing their outrage over the comparison between Boris Johnson and Brad Pitt. One Twitter user wrote, “A disgrace to liken Boris to Brad Pitt and then all have a good laugh. Shame on you all.” Another user questioned the hypocrisy, saying, “The hypocrisy of these people laughing at someone’s appearance. Body shaming and giggling about Boris is acceptable?”

The criticism continued with another viewer tweeting, “Wow. Sitting on TV picking apart people’s appearance. Disgusting. Another stormed: “So, all laughing at how Boris Johnson looks, compared to how Brad Pitt looks at the same age? How is that ‘fine’ to do? Especially, in this day and age.” The show faced further backlash for what was deemed as openly mocking someone’s appearance, as one Twitter user expressed, “Because it’s Boris Johnson, that’s okay?!”

This segment on Lorraine has sparked a debate about the boundaries of discussing someone’s physical appearance on television, particularly in the context of public figures. While critics argue that body shaming should never be acceptable, supporters of the show may see it as harmless banter. The controversy surrounding the episode serves as a reminder of the sensitivities surrounding discussions about appearance in today’s society.
