However, many fans watching at home weren't happy with the way the Scots star delivered the news. One said: "Iâm actually shocked at the lack of empathy Lorraine showed announcing the death of Kim Woodburn. Appalling. Hope ITV see these comments."
Another agreed, saying: "Yeah, I thought the same. Couldnât wait to go onto the next segment of the show." A third shared: "A very mealy mouth announcement from Lorraine about the passing of Kim Woodburn." A fourth accused the presenter of being "very business like".

Cat said: "Sad news this morning, the news that Kim Woodburn died yesterday aged 83 after a short illness, she was one on her own wasn't she?
