Kate Garraway returns to Good Morning Britain

Kate Garraway has made an emotional return to \'Good Morning Britain\'.

The 53-year-old broadcaster has been off screen while her husband, Derek Draper, has been seriously ill after contracting coronavirus and though he is still in a "minimal state of consciousness", Kate was happy to be out of her "little bubble of sadness" as she joined Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan on the ITV show on Wednesday (08.07.20).

After the hosts welcomed her to the set and hailed her return as emotional, she replied: "Really emotional, as soon as I walked in it thought, \'Oh god, this is no good, I\'m gonna cry now, hold it together.\'

Kate also confirmed she\'ll be returning to the show as anchor from next week when Piers and Susanna take their summer break.

She said: "It\'s life, it\'s livelihood, it\'s fear and anxiety, I have got to get on and do the things I\'m good at. I\'m going to come back on Monday, if you\'ll have me, you two are going. I\'ve not quite got the fight to be a Piers Morgan but I\'m gonna be with Ben Shephard.

"I was speaking to somebody yesterday, a doctor who has treated him in two hospitals and he said, \'He\'s as sick as anyone I\'ve ever seen in 35 years of medicine, never mind Covid, and some of those people are no longer here.\'
