The revelations coming out of Prince Harry’s memoir Spare might be fascinating many, but Lorraine Kelly made it clear she had no interest in finding out about some of his more intimate moments.
Harry’s autobiography isn’t due to be released until next week, but was leaked on Thursday after going on sale early in Spain.
There’s been plenty of shocking bombshells, from revealing he took cocaine as a teenager and killed 25 people in Afghanistan, as well as details of his sex life, in which he detailed losing his virginity to an older woman in a field as a teenager.
Understandably all of these were mentioned when the royal expert Russell Myers stopped by to speak about the book on Lorraine on Friday morning, but the host made it clear she felt quite awkward hearing about what she called the ‘maybe too much detail’ contained in the pages, which reveal Harry attended William’s wedding with a frost-bitten penis.
Lorraine quickly jumped in at this point, saying: ‘I don’t need to know that, thank you.’
‘I don’t need to know about Prince Harry’s willy.’
Russell went on to read some of Harry’s direct quotes including how losing his virginity was ‘a humiliating episode with an older woman who liked macho horses and treated me like a young stallion’.
Lorraine then looked even more uncomfortable, looking at the camera several times with her eyes wide open and a hilarious, slightly panicked look on her face.
‘Oh stop it, stop it,’ she laughed.
However, Russell insisted that he must carry on, and continued reading: ‘One of my mistakes was letting her have me in a field just behind a busy pub, no doubt somebody had seen us.’
‘You think about the headlines the Royal family is waking up to I mean this is absolutely breath-taking,’ he added.
Looking ready for the segment to wrap up, Lorraine joked that her toes ‘may never uncurl’.
On Thursday Lorraine also addressed reports of the physical altercation between Harry and Prince William, which she labelled ‘a soap opera’.
The extract from the memoir comes after the release of a teaser trailer from an ITV interview in which Harry said he wants his father and brother back.
The interview, due to be released on Sunday, will be broadcast two days before Spare is published around the world.
Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV.
