Lorraine Kelly corrected by Kevin McCloud in awkward moment

TV star Kevin McCloud had a moment to set the record straight with ITV's Lorraine Kelly when he joined her on the show for a chat about hosting the ground-breaking series Grand Designs for the past 25 years.

Lorraine was presenting her usual mix of health topics and entertainment scoops when she landed an interview with the icon.

Amongst the chatter about his illustrious TV journey, Lorraine couldn't help but bring up the much-talked-about game of Grand Designs bingo, which she compared to a tipple-fuelled activity.

However, Kevin jumped in sharpish to ensure there was no confusion, asserting: "Sorry, excuse me, sorry. I have to correct you here. It's a family game known as Grand Designs Bingo. As a student game, it involves alcohol."

A quick-witted Lorraine responded acknowledging the 18+ rule: "Right, I understand and you have to be over 18 to do so."

The pair were also celebrating the Grand Designs 25-year special that dropped last September on Channel 4.

A teaser for the series read: "Featuring the most ambitious builds and touching human dramas, with the biggest budget overspends and disastrous delays thrown into the mix, this special will celebrate a true Channel 4 gem in its momentous anniversary year," reports .

During a chat with Lorraine, Kevin reflected on an amusing observation he had come across: "Grand Designs is a show where they put themselves through hell to have a slightly better house than yours."

He confessed that despite visiting countless transformed homes over the years, he lost the desire to live in any of them about two decades ago.

The TV host revealed: "I stopped wanting to live in them about 20 years ago because I realised I've got the best job being able to go and see the finished projects and therefore spend time in these buildings.

"But it's because I then realised that I liked going home. You can be inspired by these places but they're always going to be so tuned to the personalities of those people."

Lorraine airs Mondays-Fridays at 9am on ITV1.
