LORRAINE Kelly broke down in tears as Dr Amir Khan surprised her with a special guest on Friday's show.

The 62-year-old revealed she had no idea what Dr Khan was planning, telling him: "It's really weird, what's going on?"

He replied: "Well, you know February is the month of love with Valentine's Day in the middle.

"But there's also different types of love, and want to celebrate the love of friendship. So watch this."

A VT then played showing Lorraine's best friend Joyce, who said: "Lorraine and I first met at school, so 50 years ago. She was funny, she was witty, she was cheeky..."

As the video played Lorraine could be seen laughing as throwback photos flashed up on screen.

Joyce continued: "And she was a little bit of a rebel because whatever was happening in school, she liked to go on her own path."

She then recalled her favourite memories from her friendship with Lorraine, including them running the New York marathon together, and revealed she flew to Scotland as soon as Joyce's father died.

When the clip finished, as she wiped away tears, Lorraine said: "You found a picture of me and auntie Joyce drinking wine, how did you manage that?"

Dr Khan replied: "Well, that was the easiest part of all of that. But that isn't the last of the surprise, we have got someone really special here for you."

Joyce then walked into the studio as Lorraine stood up and shouted: "Shut up!"

Lorraine claimed she wasn't "allowed" to hug her friend and told her to sit down, before saying: "I can't believe you kept this from me!"

And was shocked when best friend Joyce appeared on screen - before turning up in the studio!
