Good Morning Britain viewers have been left amazed after discovering the age of host Kate Garraway.
It came as Kate returned to the programme on Thursday, joined by co-presenter Ben Shepard. Appearing to be discussing the upcoming coronation for King Charles III, Ben made a joke before announcing what day it is.
He said: "There's so much preparation, organisation going on at the moment for... Kate Garraway's birthday".

He quickly added: "Oh I think people are disappointed, they thought I was talking about the coronation". Kate said: "People keep saying 'oh we forgot'.
"How many years have I been on this show and you forgot? It's [also] Star Wars day!"
Ben asked Kate how old she turns today, asking her if she turns 59 today. Kate replied: "I would be proud to be 59. I am only, though, 56."
In a group for GMB fans, one Facebook user created a birthday post for Kate, featuring a photo of the presenter. It read: "Happy 56th birthday Kate. Many happy returns xxxx"
Other social media users were quick to send well wishes, with many taken aback by her age. One said: "Happy birthday Kate, 56 never looked better", while a second said: "56??? She looks amazing".
A third said: "Looks more like 46, looking great KG".
