Robert RInder left Kate Garraway on the verge of tears as he paid an emotional on-air tribute to her right at the start of Tuesday's Good Morning Britain.
The two ITV stars joined forces for the first time to front the latest edition of the morning programme, with cameras rolling hours after it was announced that Kate had been nominated for a National Television Award for her documentary Caring for Derek, about her husband's battle against Covid, which left him in hospital for months fighting for his life.
News of Kate being on the shortlist for this year's NTAs comes nearly a year on from her taking home the Best Authored Documentary prize at last year's event for her first documentary, Finding Derek, which involved candid and often heartbreaking footage of Kate speaking to Derek via FaceTime while he remained in hospital.
