Holding up her vaccination card, the post revealed a 'Lorraine Smith' received the first dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine...

She wrote alongside the snap, 'Vaccinated! So relieved! Easy peasy - didn’t feel a thing - thanks so much to all the cheery volunteers and NHS staff who made it SO simple!! Please please get vaccinated!! We are so lucky to have the opportunity Xxx'. (sic)

Fans of the Scottish presenter were quick to comment on her post, revealing their shock at the name Smith.

One follower wrote, 'Fantastic news! Lorraine Smith! I am shook haha', with another adding, 'Who’s Lorraine Smith!!'. Another then wrote, 'Lorraine Smith ??? We’re you incognito?' (sic)

Another baffled fan wrote, 'I had no idea your current surname was Smith!! My full name is Lauren Kelly & I’ve been called Lorraine Kelly (or LK today!!!) my entire life, my partners surname is Smith so I may also end up a smith one day. Twinning'. (sic)
