Lorraine Kelly ‘overwhelmed’ as she announces ’emotional’ new charity single prompted by birth of baby Billie
TV legend Lorraine Kelly has teamed up with Marti Pellow for a very special new project prompted by the birth of her gorgeous granddaughter, baby Billie.
Former Wet Wet Wet frontman Marti is celebrating the 30th anniversary of his hit song Love Is All Around this year. And, after a chance meeting on James Martin’s Saturday Morning, Marti learned that it was a song Lorraine sung to her daughter Rosie when she was born.
In a full circle moment, Lorraine now sings the song to baby Billie. And it’s her granddaughter that has spurred Lorraine on to launch a very emotionally-charged new project. And the star is doing it with the help of Marti.
Lorraine Kelly on ‘overwhelming’ project inspired by baby Billie
Speaking to OK!, Lorraine revealed that she’s teamed up with the Scottish singer to re-record Love Is All Around with her Change & Check Choir. Last year, Joss Stone fronted the choir’s charity single, Golden.
The choir is composed of individuals either undergoing treatment for breast cancer or who are survivors. It was launched in 2019 by Lorraine and her daytime TV producer Helen Addis, who had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Now Lorraine has revealed that she wants to raise more funds and awareness so that breast cancer isn’t something granddaughter Billie will have to worry about in her lifetime.
“I would love her to grow up in a world where she didn’t have to worry about breast cancer. That would be the best thing ever. Maybe in her lifetime. She’s only one month old. The advances that are happening. The science is incredible,” said Lorraine.
‘The whole thing was very, very emotional’
Admitting that she loves working on her ITV1 show, Lorraine said that the thing she’s “definitely most proud of” is her Change & Check campaign. Lorraine also shared that there were tears on the day the choir recorded the song.
“The whole thing was very, very emotional. Marti said to me: ‘When you record something that means something, something will happen in the room.’ I didn’t know what he meant, but then I did. Marti recorded his bit, then he helped us record our bits. Then we all sang it together, just with the piano. I burst into tears, as did so many people, because it was just overwhelming. Marti is so kind,” she said.
‘You cannot fail to be touched by that’
The singer spent 14 weeks at number one with the track in 1994. And he too said he was moved to tears on the day.
“If you have a beating heart, why wouldn’t you? Especially when you hear the circumstances. Once you come to a certain age in your life, you become very much aware of cancer. There isn’t any family that hasn’t been touched with that. Whether it’s friends or family who have fought the disease or who didn’t make it through, you cannot fail to be touched by that.”
Love Is All Around by the Change & Check Choir, featuring Marti Pellow, is available to download tomorrow (October 14).

Paul ‘return’ to Coronation Street
Billy hallucinated Paul in tonight’s Coronation Street (Wednesday, November 6), as he risked freezing to death outside of the factory.
After listening to old voice messages from Paul, Billy’s phone battery started to drain as he sobbed outside of the factory in a drunken state.
As Billy starts to hallucinate his late husband, here’s all we know about whether we’ll see Paul on screen again.
Coronation Street: Paul Foreman’s ‘return’
This evening, Bernie gathered Paul’s loved ones in the Rovers to watch the video of Paul’s ashes being sent up into space.
Billy got angry whilst in a drunken state, thinking that the whole event was tacky. He then pulled out the lead to the laptop and ruined the video for everyone before announcing that he tried to kiss Todd on the day of Paul’s funeral.
Burning bridges with Paul’s family, Billy then headed off into the night as he listened to old voice messages from Paul behind the factory.
Starting to freeze, Billy then started to hallucinate Paul as Peter Ash’s character returned to our screens in a surprise twist.
The episode ended with Paul standing over Billy, telling him to ‘get up’ or he’d freeze to death.
Paul will ‘return’ once more
Viewers will know that Paul sadly passed away from MND at the start of September this year. Billy sadly didn’t make it to the hospital in time to say a final goodbye though.
Now, Billy’s not coping with Paul’s death well at all. Finding out that Paul had already passed when he made a final phone call to him, Billy’s also had to deal with his half of Paul’s ashes being stolen by a guy called Wayne.
Drunk, Billy hallucinated Paul tonight. But, this won’t be the last we’ll see of him.
Paul will ‘return’ in hallucination form once again in Friday’s episode (November 8), as reported by Digital Spy.
Peter Ash’s return as Paul was kept out of spoilers to surprise fans. But, will Paul’s ‘presence’ help Billy before it’s too late?

Is Bianca dead after Reiss’ latest sinister twist?
In EastEnders, Reiss confessed to Bianca tonight (Wednesday, November 6), that he was the one to kill Debbie Colwell – his comatose wife.
He then took Bianca to a lock-up where he told her that the murder evidence was kept… But, then the end of the episode saw Reiss go to smother Bianca with a blanket.
But, is Bianca dead? Has Reiss killed another person as his life unravels further?
EastEnders: Reiss confessed the truth to Bianca
Tonight in Walford, Bianca rumbled Reiss on the CCTV doing something dodgy which made her ask Reiss what he was hiding from the night Debbie died.
Reiss started to tell her that he didn’t kill Debbie but it all became too much for him, leading him to confess the truth.
He then tried to guilt trip Bianca into feeling bad for him, suggesting that he killed Debbie out of mercy.
Bianca begged him to go to the police so that Sonia could be freed, with Reiss telling her that he had the murder evidence – the pillow – in a lock-up nearby. The police had a ‘different’ pillow.
Taking Bianca to the lock-up, Reiss locked the door behind them and brought out a blanket. He then approached Bianca, ready to smother her with it…
Has Reiss killed Bianca in EastEnders?
Bianca’s not long returned to Walford but if Reiss gets his way, then her days may just be numbered.
Reiss is desperate to keep Debbie’s murder truth a secret, and really doesn’t want to go to prison. And, that may just mean silencing Bianca.
Whilst Bianca was cornered by a sinister Reiss tonight who had the intention of killing her, she was armed with a weapon of her own.
Will she strike back before Reiss finishes her off? Or, has Reiss claimed another victim?
