Lorraine Kelly had ITV viewers fuming on Wednesday after she openly laughed during a live TV moment about a This Morning guest.<\/p>\n

Michael Phillips, who has been named as the man with the world’s smallest penis, was set to appear on the magazine show to discuss his condition.<\/p>\n

At the end of her self-titled ITV show, Ms Kelly chatted to This Morning hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shepherd about what viewers could expect from the upcoming programme.<\/p>\n

Ms Deeley explained: “We’re meeting the man with the world’s smallest penis.”<\/p>\n

Mr Shephard quipped: “Yes – a little bit of everything for you today, Lorraine.”<\/p>\n

When she came back into view, Ms Kelly could be seen shaking her head before she burst out laughing.<\/p>\n

Her ITV colleagues smiled awkwardly as she commented: “Honestly, honestly… Only on This Morning!”<\/p>\n

She proceeded to cover her face with her hands to conceal the giggles she’d succumbed to.<\/p>\n

Viewers didn’t share her amusement, though, with many furiously taking to social media to blast the presenter. <\/p>\n

“Why is she laughing? #Lorraine,” one person commented, as a second shared: “Dear me #Lorraine, grow up. #ThisMorning.”<\/p>\n

Another fumed harshly: “Interesting the dreadful & talentless Lorraine Kelly finds it OK to mock a man’s body! Not a #Me2 moment, is it? Should be!”<\/p>\n

Someone else made a similar point, asking: “If a woman came on with the world’s smallest breasts would they be quick to laugh or make fun? #thismorning.” (sic)<\/p>\n

In response to complaints about someone else mocking the man on This Morning, another viewer commented: “#Lorraine was just as bad with her laughing.”<\/p>\n

In response, another wrote: “That’s exactly what I just said to my hubby! She’s all for raising awareness for women’s issues but laughs at a fella for doing the same. Disgraceful.”<\/p>\n

Mr Phillips, from North Caroline in the US, has spoken previously about his condition and the impact it has on his life.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun, he shared: “I was actually looking to see if there is a Guinness world record for the smallest and see if I can enter for that.<\/p>\n

“I try to turn a negative into a positive, so I’m trying to make everything a positive \u2013 so if I can get a title out of it, then great.<\/p>\n

“I went to the doctor about four or five months ago with concerns over my penis size. I was informed there is a condition called a micropenis.<\/p>\n

“I was referred to a urologist. I was always aware it had been small, but wasn\u2019t aware there was a condition for it.”<\/p>\n

He added: “The main reason I went to the doctor was because my penis is actually too small to have sex at all.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lorraine Kelly had ITV viewers fuming on Wednesday after she openly laughed during a live TV moment about…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":242009,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[921,93,61,60,8642,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-242008","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-celebrity","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-itv","13":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242008","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=242008"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/242008\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=242008"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=242008"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=242008"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
