GMB fans were stunned to learn Kate Garraway’s age

"Good Morning Britain" viewers were stunned to learn the actual age of host Kate Garraway today. It happened when Kate returned to the program on Thursday, joined by co-host Ben Shepard. As it turned out while discussing the upcoming coronation of King Charles III, Ben made a joke before announcing what day it was, LiverpoolEcho reports. He said: "There's so much preparation going on right now, organizing ... Kate Garraway's birthday." He quickly added: "Oh, I think people are disappointed; they thought I was discussing the upcoming coronation." Kate responded, "People keep saying, 'Oh, we forgot.' How long have I been on this show, and you still need to remember? Today is (also) Star Wars Day!" Ben asked Kate how old she was today, asking if she was fifty-nine. Kate replied, "I'd be proud if I were fifty-nine. Even though I'm only fifty-six." In the GMB fan group, a Facebook user created a congratulatory post for Kate with a picture of the host. It read: "Happy fifty-sixth birthday, Kate. Many happy returns to television." Other social media users also rushed to express their wishes and congratulations, with many being shocked by her age. One said: "Happy Birthday Kate, at fifty-six she never looked better than she does now" and another said: "Fifty-six??? She looks stunning." Another user added: "More like forty-six, great looking Kate."
