Kate Garraway 'embarrassed' as doctor finds 6-day-old contact lens in eye

Kate Garraway was left "embarrassed" after a doctor removed a six-day-old contact lens from her eye.

The \'Good Morning Britain\' presenter appeared on the ITV breakfast show on Thursday (24.09.20) wearing glasses due to a mysterious eye injury, and following a trip to the doctor later that day she discovered a piece of her contact lens had got stuck nearly a week ago.

Speaking on Friday\'s (25.09.20) \'GMB\', Kate said: "A team of eye nurses were baffled, absolutely baffled. Then eventually, after having drops, they found it was actually a contact lens stuck in my eye that\'s been in there for about six days.

"I felt embarrassed - I thought I had taken it out, but there was a bit still in there - just by root cause untidiness."

The 53-year-old TV presenter was having trouble reading the morning news after she mysteriously hurt her eye, and the star admitted it was "a bit of a lottery" as to what she could read due to the injury.

She said: "Let\'s have a look at the front pages now, if that is, I can see them. If you haven\'t noticed [the glasses] ... I\'ve injured my eye.

"I don\'t know what I\'ve done to it, but I\'m going to get it checked out today. But it means it\'s all a bit of a lottery at the moment as to whether I can read anything."

Kate was joined by co-hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid, and she caused a bit of "glasses envy" with 49-year-old Susanna.

She said: "Kate I\'m absolutely loving your glasses, I\'ve got a bit of glasses envy."
