Lorraine Kelly editor resigns over abusive text

Daily Mail:
The editor of Lorraine Kelly's breakfast show has resigned after a furious row with the television presenter.
Benedetta Pinelli, editor of LK Today stepped down after realising she had accidentally sent Kelly a text message saying she was a nightmare to deal with and that she hated her.

Kelly, who hosts the show on GMTV, was shooting on location in Namibia on Sunday when she apparently fell out with Miss Pinelli over the work of Kelly's husband Steve Smith, a long-serving cameraman on the show.

Feeling aggrieved and apparently humiliated, Miss Pinelli, decided to text her husband back in the UK to let off steam.
But it appears that Kelly was playing on her mind so much as she was writing the four-line text message that she mistakenly sent it to her instead.
The text is understood to have read: "My god, I have really got the hump. I have just had this massive bust up with LK. It happened today. She's a nightmare to work with. I hate her."

Silly Cow!
