Kate Garraway ‘fears the sack’ after sleeping in on her first day back at GMB
The problem with working in TV is, if you’re late or accidentally sleep in, everyone’s going to know about it.
As Kate Garraway found out today when she missed her first shift on Good Morning Britain after visiting the land of nod for too long.
The presenter, who has had extended time off the ITV show while she took part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here, was due back in the studio today with Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh.
But Kate’s colleagues had to take the reins without her after she slept in until shortly before 6am – when the breakfast programme goes on air.
She posted on Instagram a photo of herself with bead hair and the caption: “Oh no – disaster – overslept on my 1st morning back at work on @gmb . Fell asleep last night fully made up with clothes on and contacts in – didn’t set alarm . Woke up looking like this !!!??!!!
“Can’t believe it – am going to get fired first morning back! And to think @adeleroberts & @romankemp we were talking about this in the jungle and I was proudly saying I had never overslept enough in 20 years to actually miss a show !!!! That’s karma !!!!”
If this wasn’t bad enough, Kate then had to explain herself live on the show via video link.
Oh, and GMB’s Twitter page cheekily posted a poll asking viewers whether Kate should get the sack.
“I fell asleep and the next thing I know, it was like 20 minutes ago,” Kate explained.
“I have never done this in 20 years.”
She went on to add that because she gets up so early, if she sleeps in it is still only around 3.15am.
Of course, it was all in jest – Ben made a dig at his co-host and joked: “You’ve had one sniff of prime time and this is what happens.”
