Lorraine Kelly reacts to 'bonkers' John Lewis 2023 Christmas advert
Lorraine Kelly has shared her reaction to John Lewis' highly-anticipated 2023 Christmas advert, which was released on Thursday 9 November.
During Thursday's episode of her hit ITV chatshow, Lorraine, 63, was joined by her show experts as they all shared their verdicts. The new tear-jerker advert sees Snapper the Venus flytrap take a starring role after little boy, Alfie, purchases a seed to grow the "perfect Christmas tree" but instead gets Snapper.
However after Snapper grows too big for the living room and he is dragged out into the bitter cold, Alfie steps outside and offers him a present to which the rest of his family follow suit and embrace the unconventional "Christmas tree".
Talking about the advert, Lorraine said: "What did we all think, I quite liked it!" to which guest Adam Hill said: "So for The Last Leg tomorrow night, you know they release a five or ten second trailer, so we did a thing where all of us on the The Last Leg wrote our predictions of what the advert was going to be from the trailer. Not one of our predictions is as bonkers as the actual advert!" to which Lorraine replied: "It is quite bonkers, I have to say!"

New traditions is an oxymoron, you can't have a new tradition, tradition is something that's come through the generations!" He added: "I'm not quite sure what it's got to do with Christmas but it's a little boy having lots of fun, saying I'm not interested in the Christmas tree and the usual stuff and he's having a lovely time. So what's not to love?"

It comes as Good Morning Britain hosts Kate Garraway and Susanna Reid had different takes on John Lewis' highly-anticipated 2023 Christmas advert. After showing clips of the advert, Kate, 56, said: "I think they say that the message is, you know..." to which Susanna, 52, interjected with: "If you get something you don't want for Christmas, don't worry, mum and dad will get you something else!"
To which a laughing Kate replied with: "No, no, no! That's definitely not the message, Drapers [Kate's family with husband Derek Draper]. No, I think the message is: 'You make Christmas as you want it, it doesn't have to be traditional".
Alfie accidentally nurtures a Venus flytrap rather than a traditional Christmas tree (John Lewis)Charlotte Lock, Customer Director for John Lewis, explained the advert: "We are a nation that loves the traditions of Christmas - from classic traditions like pantos and putting up the tree to evolving new ones like crafting our own presents and Zoom get-togethers. Many of us have our own unique festive traditions and that makes them even more special.
"The film celebrates themes of family and evolving traditions and shows that a ‘perfect’ Christmas is finding joy together with loved ones, whatever your traditions." The touching advert - created by Saatchi and Saatchi - also features a very recognisable voice providing an upbeat and joyful original song. World-renowned opera legend Andrea Bocelli performs 'Festa', meaning 'celebration', which is written and produced by Le Feste Antonacci.
