Good Morning Britain got off to a flustered start on Thursday as host Kate Garraway admitted she nearly didn’t make it on air.
Starting the show with co-star Ed Balls, Kate, 57, said: “Good morning, I’ve begun the day with a button crisis! For someone who is as clumsy…” to which Ed, 57, pointed out: “You’ve got quite a lot of buttons!”
This prompted Kate to quip: “It’s 145,000 buttons I’ve had to do up and I did it wrong about seven times so that’s the reason why we nearly didn’t make it on air this morning”, adding: “Don’t look too closely [at the buttons] because they’re probably still skewwhiff! That’s why I raced into the studio, barely brushing my hair!”
It comes as Kate celebrated her birthday over the weekend – marking yet another ‘first’ for the Good Morning Britain presenter following the death of her husband.

The broadcaster turned 57-years-old on Saturday (4th May) – the ITV star’s first birthday since the death of her beloved husband and father of her two children Derek Draper. Former political lobbyist Derek passed away at the age of 56 at the start of this year.
Posting on social media, the mum-of-two shared a video on Sunday, which saw her surrounded by her friends and family as they lavished her with gifts on her birthday. Captioning the video on Instagram, Kate told her followers: “Well yesterday was another one of those sad 1st’s – my first birthday since Derek’s passing.
“Woke up feeling so sad & thought well I can either cry all day or celebrate life as he did so well. And thanks to wonderful friends it worked! See you on @ gmb tomorrow from 6 – happy bank holiday weekend everyone!”
Kate rang in her 57th to warmth and well-wishing from fans on social media and the team at Smooth, where she marked 10 years coinciding with an early ceremonial studio celebration during the week.
This Morning presenter Ben Shephard was also on hand to pay tribute to his former Good Morning Britain co-star over the weekend and ensure she knew how loved is on her special day.
Kate’s current co-presenter Susanna Reid also joined in on the birthday niceties. Posting a picture of duo, she gushed, “Happy birthday to my gorgeous friend [Kate].” Signing off her note, she added a playful nod to Star Wars Day – celebrated annually on May 4 – with the hashtag #maythe4thbewithyou.
