Kate Garraway thanks ‘incredible’ viewers on return to hosting Good Morning Britain
Kate Garraway thanked viewers for their “incredible” support as she made her return to hosting Good Morning Britain on Thursday.
She came back to present the ITV breakfast show less than a week after the funeral of her husband Derek Draper.
Garraway, 56, said it was “lovely” to be back but she felt a little “wobbly”.
She added: “The make-up girls had me in tears this morning just by saying hello.”
Co-host Ben Shephard said he would give Garraway a bit of “leeway”, before saying she did her husband proud with the “extraordinary funeral”.
Garraway made a brief appearance on GMB on Monday before returning to the presenter’s seat.
She said: “Thank you to all of you at home as well. I know I mentioned it on Monday, but you have been incredible.”
“It was really lovely as well to feel so much love from everybody here.”
Draper fell seriously ill during the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020 and stayed in hospital for just over a year before being discharged to receive at-home care.
