The clown then made Lorraine, 59, jump out of her skin as he said "Woo!" in her ear, prompting the telly legend to let out an ear-piercing scream.
The Scottish broadcaster continued to scream for a few seconds as she struggled to regain her composure, before breaking into nervous laughter as she realised she had been pranked by her team.
"That was horrible," she said.
"Oh you swines, you absolute swines! I hate clowns, I hate them. I need a gin!"

Laughing, Dan offered her his coffee mug and said: "There is some gin in mine."
It's safe to say Lorraine won't be queuing up to get her ticket to see the IT sequel, which hits cinemas today.
The flick, based on the characters created by horror writer Stephen King in his 1986 novel, is the follow-up to IT, which was released in 2017.

The first film went on to become the biggest grossing horror film of all time.
It follows a group of kids who are terrorised by Pennywise the clown, who lures them in with his sinister red balloon.
The sequel sees the misfits all grown up but still haunted by the terrifying creature.
It is set 27 years after the original and stars James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader and Bill Skarsgard as the dancing clown.
