Kate Garraway has been happily married to husband Derek Draper since 2005.
However, fans of the Good Morning Britain host may not know Kate was previously married before.
The star, who appears on Garraway’s Good Stuff on ITV today (June 4), spent four years with former husband Ian Rumsey.

Following their split, Ian claimed Kate’s long hours and early starts were to blame for marriage breakdown.
However, she later said: “It’s always terribly sad when a marriage comes to an end. I’m disappointed that what’s a very private matter has been brought into the public domain.
“I was dismayed by reports in the papers because they are substantially inaccurate.”
Whilst Kate has barely spoken about her ex-husband since, she did touch upon their divorce in 2017.
The presenter opened up about the difficult time to The Sun’s Fabulous, admitting she battled with low self-confidence and found comfort from going to therapy.
She told the publication: “It wasn’t just [because of the] divorce.
Generally in relationships, I had always been finished with.
“Generally in relationships, I had always been finished with. I think that if you’re constantly being finished with, then you do consciously think on some level that you’re unlovable.”
Eventually, Kate went on to meet husband Derek in 2004.
The pair, who married the following year, have since welcomed two children together – Darcey and Billy.
