The former politician, 59, confirmed his status as one of the most controversial figures in the camp when he stripped completely naked in the famous jungle shower.
Lorraine said the ITV scene broadcast on Monday was ‘traumatising’ and went on to blast his appearance, claiming she was ‘surprised’ to discover ‘he’s only 59’ and said he had ‘the face got what he deserved’.
Discovering the ex-politician’s age in a chat with former MP and TV star Edwina Currie and showbiz reporter Lucie Cave, Lorraine said on Tuesday’s show: ‘Is he only 59?! I thought he was a lot older than that.
‘That’s amazing. Fortunately, you get the face you deserve. You really do.’
Viewers of the ITV morning show said they were disappointed by the presenter’s comments as many believed Lorraine would not make the same comments about a woman.
