GMB star Kate Garraway appears to have hinted that she wanted to present This Morning alongside co-star Ben Shephard instead of Cat Deeley.
Kate has been presenting GMB with Ben since 2014. However, things have since changed now that Ben has a new job at This Morning with Cat Deeley. The pair are the permanent replacements of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, who both left the show last year.
Kate congratulates Ben
Ahead of starting his new role, Kate took to Instagram last month to congratulate Ben on the job as well as Cat.
“Massive congrats to @benshephardofficial on the @itv @thismorning gig. You’ll be SOOOOO missed by EVERYONE @gmb viewers and the team alike & of course especially me. BUT after 24 years hard labour by my side no one will begrudge you time off for good behaviour!!!” she wrote.
“Good luck swapping early starts for (abit) of a lie in and a Kate for a Cat! @catdeeley can’t wait to see you – you’ll have a ball.”
“Thank you so much Kate ! I’ll take care of him for you … Sending you love,” Cat replied in the comments.
