GMTV boss resigns after being caught red-handed
Hate mail text row results in resignation of TV show editor
 On Sunday 17th of September, GMTV boss Benedetta Pinelli, sent Lorraine Kelly a four line hate text saying, "My God, I have really got the hump. I have just had this massive bust up with LK she's a nightmare to work with. I hate her!" This text was actually intended for Benedetta's husband, but accidentally got sent to Lorraine Kelly. After realising her mistake she immediately quit her job. 
     This incident took place last-week in Africa, when they were filming cheetahs being released into the wild. An insider on the ITV1 programme quoted " Benedetta made a massive mistake and fell on her sword. she is hugely embarrassed about the whole thing." 
     Lorraine kelly was left speechless when she opened the text. Part of it read," i hate her." Benedetta and her husband flew home on monday and the next day she resigned during a meeting with GMTV director Peter McHugh. Another insider said," Pinelli wasn't really liked and you cant do that to Lorraine Kelly." 
     Pinelli only joined GMTV recently, as head of Lifestyle, and has already found a new job with a film company . She said,"i'm leaving a strong show behind and im very proud of my team. Infact im taking them out for a farewell drink tonight."
