<p>The ITV breakfast presenter, 57, lives between London and Dundee, with her husband Steve. Their daughter Rosie, 23, lives in Asia.  </p><h2>What is a typical daily menu?</h2><p>Over the working week, breakfast is porridge jazzed up with honey, nuts, raisins or berries. Lunch is noodles, a stir-fry or a big salad. At teatime it&rsquo;s fish, chicken and vegetables. I&rsquo;ve eaten more sensibly since I turned 50. When you see results, tone up and feel healthier, it stops all the bad habits.</p><h2>And at weekends? </h2><p>I eat more or less what I like. Steve is a fantastic cook and makes brilliant curries from scratch. Sunday breakfast is his ‘special&rsquo; &ndash; a tower of a potato scone with bacon and black pudding and a poached egg on top. </p><p><center><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version="7" style=" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);"><div style="padding:8px;"> <div style=" background:#F8F8F8; line-height:0; margin-top:40px; padding:50.0% 0; text-align:center; width:100%;"> <div style=" background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC); display:block; height:44px; margin:0 auto -44px; position:relative; top:-22px; width:44px;"></div></div> <p style=" margin:8px 0 0 0; padding:0 4px;"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BVC4UPlgm66/" style=" color:#000; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; font-style:normal; font-weight:normal; line-height:17px; text-decoration:none; word-wrap:break-word;" target="_blank">Afternoon in #whitstable #fishandchips #seabreeze #happy #sunny</a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A post shared by Lorraine Kelly (@lorrainekellysmith) on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2017-06-07T16:26:06+00:00">Jun 7, 2017 at 9:26am PDT</time></p></div></blockquote> <script async defer src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script></center></p><h2>All-time favourite dish?</h2><p>Steve makes a really good hot beef rendang.

Scallops and giant prawns to start, and fresh grilled fish. </p><h2>Your childhood favourite?</h2><p>My mum makes the best chicken soup in the world.
