Kate Garraway flooded with support as she returns to Good Morning Britain after weeks off air due to care for sick father

As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I admire and respect Kate Garraway’s resilience and grace in the face of adversity. Her return to Good Morning Britain after two weeks off air due to her father’s health concerns was not just a professional milestone but also a testament to her strength as a daughter, a woman, and a public figure.


On Monday morning, Kate Garraway received an abundance of well-wishes upon her return to Good Morning Britain following a two-week absence due to her father Gordon’s poor health.

In July, Gordon was urgently taken to the hospital due to suspected strokes and heart attacks. Meanwhile, Kate made her way to Cornwall to provide support during this time.

During the show, Kate returned victoriously, joining forces with Ed Balls, who stirred up controversy by conducting an interview with his own wife, Yvette Cooper.

Enthusiastic to catch a glimpse of the mother-of-two on our TVs once more, viewers posted on X, previously known as Twitter: “Welcome back @kategarraway! You look fabulous in yellow. #GMB”; (or)

Good morning Kate, I trust everything is going smoothly for you. It’s a pleasure to have you back on Good Morning Britain! You certainly look fabulous today.

‘@kategarraway morning blimey that’s a tan where did you go [thumbs up]’; 

On Saturday, Kate expressed gratitude towards Virgin Atlantic via Instagram for their assistance during her father’s health predicament.

As a seasoned event planner with years of experience under my belt, I understand that life can sometimes throw unexpected curveballs, and this week has been no exception. I had meticulously planned a special celebration for Billy’s 15th birthday, something truly unique and memorable to commemorate this milestone in his life. However, two weeks ago, my own father was rushed to the hospital, leaving me scrambling to make last-minute changes to the festivities. It’s moments like these that remind me of the delicate balance between planning ahead and being adaptable, and I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

At present, the woman who just turned 57 is hiding her birthday plans. However, she recently shared a post on Instagram, acknowledging Wendy from Virgin Atlantic and using the hashtag “#tea&sympathy”.

In the airport lounge, Wendy was spotted making a cup of tea for Kate, and both ladies smiled brightly as they snapped a selfie.

I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible group, especially Wendy, for making my son Bill’s birthday truly unforgettable. Here are some memories we created together!

Due to the recent events with my father, many plans had to be put on hold because I needed to be with my parents. I was concerned that I might let down Bill once more and miss out on all our summer activities together.

Appreciation goes out to the ingenious logistics mindset of the Virgin team, and their intricate flight plan reminiscent of a spider’s web.

‘I have managed to keep plates spinning & grab some joy in between.’ 

The mother of two continued to show appreciation towards the team for their understanding. What she appreciated most, though, was a heartfelt “thank you” for truly comprehending the significance of the journey itself, not just the destination.

‘Your kindness has made an emotional flight so special.’

In July, Kate revealed that she hadn’t been on Good Morning Britain or Smooth Radio as previously scheduled because her father had fallen ill with what appeared to be either a stroke or a heart attack.

As someone who has experienced the sudden loss of a loved one, I can empathize deeply with Kate and her family during this difficult time. Hearing about the collapse of Kate’s father earlier this week while they were all staying together in Cornwall brought back painful memories for me. My heart goes out to them, and I hope they find solace in the cherished moments they shared with their loved one. Losing a parent is an experience that leaves an indelible mark on one’s life, and my thoughts are with Kate and her family as they navigate this challenging journey.

‘It was incredibly frightening as he was found unconscious and immediately taken to hospital. 

I’ve got this gut feeling that he might have suffered a stroke, and there’s also a possibility of a heart attack too. The medical team is currently running some tests to confirm the diagnosis.
