Hurts' Theo Hutchcraft: Lorraine Kelly Is My Alter Ego

Hurts' frontman Theo Hutchcraft has revealed that he uses famous alter egos when on tour to avoid crazed fans from finding him.

Hutchcraft said he has several pseudonyms, including the unlikely choice, Lorraine Kelly – who was best known for fronting former ITV breakfast show, GMTV.

"We're changing them all the time. I used Lorraine when I was in Germany and I've also checked in as Howard Hughes,” he told The Sun.

Hurts are currently touring European festivals, and will perform at next months V Festival in Staffordshire and Chelmsford.

The Manchester duo are also set to embark on a short UK tour in November, which includes a date at London's Brixton Academy.
