Anticipation is in the air for Lorraine Kelly as her daughter Rosie is due to give birth. 

However, it was the TV veteran's husband Steve Smith, who is rarely in the spotlight, who was on Lorraine's mind as she made an appearance on James Martin's Saturday Morning.

Lorraine has been supported by Steve

The chat show host, 64, opened up to TV chef James Martin about her experience becoming a novelist, detailing how her husband of 32 years has supported her along the way.

"I had to be very focused because, obviously, it's a full-time job," the TV star revealed, reflecting on her writing process. "And also I was very lucky that my husband would pick up the slack - if I was engrossed he wouldn't mind throwing things in the tumble dryer, and he does the cooking anyway, but doing everything.

"I couldn't do it by myself," she added.

The loved-up pair met in 1983 when a 23-year-old Lorraine was working as a reporter for TV-am and Steve was a cameraman. The couple tied the knot in 1992 in Dundee with the bride wearing a beautiful frothy gown.

The presenter is preparing for the imminent arrival of her grandchild. Lorraine revealed earlier this week that the baby will have a nursery at her Buckinghamshire home she shares with Steve, as well as a nursery at Rosie's home she shares with her fiancé Steve White.
