Lorraine fumes 'I'm not happy' as she plans to boycott popular dance show

ITV's Lorraine Kelly didn't hold back on sharing her thoughts surrounding Anna Delvey competing in the American version of Strictly Come Dancing , Dancing With the Stars. During her show, Lorraine spoke to entertainment reporter Ross King about the competition, where she made it clear she wasn't impressed. She said: "Now, we've had our troubles with Strictly over here but goodness me, Dancing With the Stars what's going on?!" As Ross informed viewers of Anna taking part, he said he was using the term "star" very loosely.

He added: "She is on Dancing With the Stars, complete with, are you ready for this? An ankle tag that has been bejewelled for the occasion. "She Cha Cha Cha'd wearing it. Here's the best part Lorraine to really make you mad, she was not introduced as a convicted criminal, she was introduced as an entrepreneur and fashionista.



" Lorraine was in disbelief by how the show introduced the 33-year-old as she decided to boycott the series. She said: "Oh come on! That's ridiculous, I mean she's a fraudster! She's a fraudster and a grifter. "That is absolutely outrageous, I'm not happy at all.

I'm not watching it. Not watching it." As Ross called the whole situation stupid, Lorraine continued to shake her head in disgust.

She added: "I just don't understand, it's all mad." The 33-year-old, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, was the inspiration behind Netflix's show Inventing Anna. It followed the true story of a young woman who convinced New York's elite that she was a German heiress.

However, in 2019, she was found guilty of eight charges where it transpired she stole an estimated $275,000 from banks, hotels, and individuals to be able to fund her extravagant lifestyle. Being sentenced to spend four to 12 years in prison, Anna was also fined $24,000 and ordered to pay restitution to her victims. However, in 2022 she was released from prison and was granted house arrest, which is why she can be seen dancing with an ankle monitor.

Lorraine continues weekdays on ITV from 9am.
