Happy Lorraine Kelly! The TV has detailed her fabulous experience of turning 63 in her exclusive column with HELLO! Read all about how she celebrated...
WOW: Lorraine Kelly details her experience of renting a dress
What a way to celebrate my 63rd birthday! First thing in the morning I was serenaded by a fabulous piper and the amazing youngsters from the London Youth Choirs. It was just beautiful.
And then Sandro from The Great British Bake Off made me the most exquisite cake which I could hardly bring myself to eat because it is such a work of art.
WATCH: Lorraine Kelly's diary about her birthday
He's a lovely man and I am so honoured that he brought in one of his very special creations for all of us to enjoy. Andy Peters presented me with the silliest but totally brilliant present of a watermelon with my face on it!
It is a very good likeness and so healthy too. He said he just didn’t know what to get for the woman who has "everything".
The watermelon is the spitting image of Lorraine
I am actually a bit of a nightmare when it comes to thinking up birthday gifts.
I love a scented candle or a bottle of bubbly, but I have my one pair of lovely ear-rings and my love heart and "Africa" necklace and don't really need anything else.
The birthday cake was wonderful
My top team at work got me a fantastic suit case for my travels which can go in the overhead locker on the plane, and doesn't need to be checked in.
LOVE: Lorraine Kelly is a total glitterbomb in sequin dress – and it's on sale
LOOK: Great British Bake Off's Paul Hollywood looks so different with long hair!
I really don’t like checking in luggage in case it gets lost or there’s a long wait in the baggage hall, so I always travel very light. It's perfect.
The birthday girl with The Great British Bake Off's Sandro
My best ever birthday present was when my husband Steve got me a giant penguin. He had it made by an artist in Edinburgh who created the four beaiutiful emperor penguins outside the Discovery Point museum in Dundee.
The team having a fabulous time
I absolutely love "McPingu" who lives in our garden looking southwards to Antarctica. It was such a lovely day but I honestly can’t believe I am sixty three years old. In. My head I am around 28, and i still feel as if I'm not really grown up!
