TV presenter Lorraine Kelly has accidentally slept in for the first time in the history of her ITV morning show.

The 63-year-old experienced a morning mishap on Wednesday, thinking her alarm had gone off at the scheduled time of 5:35am.

However, the actual time was 2:03am.

On Twitter, she wrote: "So this is a first. Woke up - convinced I'd slept in - super fast shower - threw on clothes and then looked at time properly."

At 6:00am, she tweeted: "So after getting up early - I've managed for the FIRST time to sleep in -YIKES !!!!"

Kelly managed to make it on-screen in time to host the ITV morning show, wearing a festive red Christmas jumper with guests including Tyler West, Mary McCartney and Will.i.am.

Opening her show, she said: "I'm glad I'm here. I had a mad thing last night, where I woke up at 2:00am. I thought I had got to get up."

"And I had to shower and get ready, and then I wondered what was wrong with all the clocks and it was me. And then I slept in, which I never do.

"It's been crazy, absolutely crazy. It's that time of year. I think there is so much going on in your head, because I go to bed and it's all whizzing 'round. It's all mad."
