Lorraine, who spent some of her early years in the city's Bridgeton, recalled her fond and frequent visits to Bridgeton Library where she indulged in her love of reading.

She told her mum Anne on Lorraine Kelly: 40 Unforgettable Years: "Oh I loved the library in Bridgeton, do you remember the library at Bridgeton Cross?

"The big old-fashioned one, it was lovely and it felt like that took me ages to walk.

"It's nothing, about five minutes from school and I used to go there a lot. 

"That's one of my fondest memories. It's sort of gave me a lifelong love of reading. It made me curious about the world, and it was a place of joy."
