Lorraine misgenders Sam Smith
Lorraine Kelly was joined by Vogue Williams to review the outfits from the pink carpet as the stars came out to celebrate the European premiere of Barbie.
As the pair looked at what the likes of Margot Robbie and Dua Lipa wore for the event, Lorraine misgendered Sam Smith, who uses they/them pronouns.
Lorraine remarked: “And what about Sam Smith? Oooh, he’s dressed down. Sam Smith, you’ve dressed down.”
Sam was dressed in wide-leg denim trousers which they paired with an oversized black sweatshirt.
Vogue replied: “It’s not Barbiecore. I mean, this would be, it’s a super comfy airport outfit.”

“It is,” agreed Lorraine. “It is a bit big for him. Now if he was my son, I’d be saying, ‘Son, that’s too big for you. It’s drowning you.'”
Vogue commented: “I’d be into the jumper but maybe for the airport. It wasn’t Barbiecore but it’s their own style.”
Lorraine laughed: “I know but he looks like a wee shrinking man. Oh bless him.”
Vogue continued: “It’s certainly a different look from all the tall and the pink on the carpet.”
“Exactly,” Lorraine agreed. “He’s going to stand out. He knows what he’s doing that fella. He knows what he’s doing.”
It didn’t take long before ITV viewers took to Twitter to slam the presenter for misgendering the star.
@shanehursty posted: “Lorraine clearly needs to get with the pronouns if your gonna be a presenter. #lorraine.”
“#lorraine having none of Sam Smith and their pronouns. Using ‘him’ as many times in one sentence as she could!!” tweeted @Anono1111.

“@reallorraine VERY lazy journalism not addressing Sam Smith with they/them pronouns… come on – seriously!! #Lorraine,” commented @OllieollieGA.
@x0RCR asked: “Is #lorraine misgendering Sam Smith or have things changed?”
“I guess Lorraine didn’t get the memo about Sam Smith and their chosen pronouns, awkward #GMB #GoodMorningBritain #Lorraine,” @LisaKel04102898 wrote.
Sam previously spoke about how changing their pronouns felt like “coming home” as the singer explained on Apple Music 1: “My family, they can communicate with me, they always did, but they communicate with me now in an even better way.
“My love life has become better from it. I feel lovable. I feel comfortable in my skin, but I wear what I want to wear.”
Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV from 9am.
