## Summary

Lorraine Kelly tried on a leopard-print faux-fur coat on her Friday television show, prompting comparisons with Bet Lynch, the distinctive Coronation Street pub landlady. The resemblance matters as Bet’s look remains a recognisable part of British television style, decades after the character’s final appearance.

Bet Lynch, played by Julie Goodyear until 2003, was known for leopard print, heavy make-up and a beehive hairstyle. Kelly wore the coat with her hair down, heels and a tartan dress while fashion expert Mark Heyes presented winter coat choices; she said she loved the M&S coat, which was on sale for £72.
