ITV Lorraine star breaks down in tears on air as she admits 'that's really emotional'

Lorraine star Christine Lampard broke down in tears live on air as she admitted, "That's really emotional", on Tuesday (July 22).

During today's edition of the hit ITV programme, Christine interviewed former Strictly Come Dancing winner Jay McGuiness about his new book, and also spoke to MAFS Australia star Jamie Marinos.

Jo Elvin and Hannah Fernando were also in the studio to discuss the day's topical news stories, including Prince George's 12th birthday and a viral Gen Z tea hack.

Later, Andi Peters delivered the competition segment, and quickly picked up the phone to ring a viewer who had won £250,000.

However, they didn't pick up, so Andi explained that he'd be back later in the show to try again.

Andi returned at the end of the show, where he managed to get through to Karen, who was stunned to learn she had won the competition.

"Karen, you are our winner, congratulations," Andi said, with the guest quickly becoming emotional at the other end of the line, asking: "Is this a joke? Oh my god."

"Oh Karen, is it going to make a huge difference to your life?" Andi asked, with a tearful Karen replying: "Yeah, I was hoping to retire soon."

"Well, Karen, that's a lovely cheque you'll get into the bank. You're now a quarter of a million pounds richer," Andi then said, with a speechless Karen asking: "Is this really serious?"

The camera then panned over to Christine, who was in tears, saying: "It's amazing."

She added: "Oh my gosh, that's really emotional. Oh my gosh, it's given me goosebumps. Karen, you really did win! Congratulations, that's the best news ever. Oh wonderful."

Christine then asked Andi if he could get Karen on the show later in the week to discuss her big win, with Andi confirming that he'd try to ring her back during today's This Morning.

"I really cannot believe it. I'm totally lost for words, which is totally unlike me and it really hasn't sunk in yet," Karen later said.
