Kate Garraway fights back tears as she grills Matt Hancock
Yesterday’s edition of GMB saw Kate Garraway fighting back tears, but for a wholly different reason.
The 55-year-old came face-to-face with Matt Hancock during the show.
During her grilling of the former Health Secretary, she confronted him about breaking the Covid guidelines – and emotionally opened up about her husband, Derek Draper.
Speaking about him being caught breaking Covid guidelines, Kate said: “I suppose the problem is because you were health secretary and at that time I couldn’t visit Derek in hospital.”
She continued, saying: “He couldn’t see his kids. Thousands of others couldn’t go and see the people they loved because they were following the guidelines.
“It gives the impression that you still don’t get why they’re cross,” she added.
“Oh I see, no,” Matt replied.
GMB airs on weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITVX.
