ITV's Lorraine Kelly outraged by royal sketch as she reels 'how dare they'

During Monday's instalment of Lorraine, the Scottish presenter chatted about the latest entertainment headlines with Russell Myers.

The pair discussed the revival of iconic British satirical puppet series Spitting Image during their segment.

The original programme first aired during the 1980s before concluding in 1996, achieving massive success throughout its run.

Renowned for its sharp-witted commentary on political figures and celebrity personalities, the series went on to scoop both BAFTA and Emmy accolades.

Now it's been revealed that the show is making a comeback, though it will now be broadcast on YouTube under the new title, Spitting Image Presents: The Rest is Bulls***.

The debut episode features puppet caricatures of Prince Harry alongside Paddington Bear, with a brief preview aired on Lorraine, it was clear the ITV star was unimpressed, reports the Express.

She exclaimed: "Can I just say, never mind Prince Harry, thanks very much, how dare they do that to Paddington Bear?!

"What are they doing? ! He looks deranged. No, you can't do that to Paddington Bear, I draw the line, I draw the line."

She continued: "Don't show me that anymore, that's traumatised me."

The brief excerpt from the revived Spitting Image sketch shows the beloved children's character and the Royal figure positioned in a podcast-style setting, where Prince Harry is questioned about maintaining his peak performance.

The puppet responds: "Well, Pads, an early start's important, so my butler Perkins gets up at 5am and does a 10k for me, then it's a session with my accountability coach.

"I think it's important to be honest and transparent. I haven't told Megs about it yet."

When the peculiar Paddington Bear lookalike inquired about his television habits, asking if he has a Netflix account, Harry's animated version quipped: "Ya, it's got $9 million in it."

Lorraine couldn't help but react to the portrayal of Harry, remarking: "Oh, that's a bit unkind!"

The blurb for the new series promises a show for those: "Wanting to laugh in the face of these anxiety inducing, squeaky bum times of global conflict, unhinged world leaders and megalomaniac Fin Tech bosses.

"The (latex) gloves are off and it's not pulling any punches. This isn't just satire. It's a no holds barred up-to-the-minute assault on the world of politics, pop culture and media control."

Lorraine is available to watch on ITVX.
