Good Morning Britain fans amazed by Kate Garraway's age

Good Morning Britain viewers were absolutely amazed after discovering Kate Garraway's age. It came as the host returned to the programme on Thursday, May 4 joined by co-presenter Ben Shepard.

Appearing to be discussing the upcoming coronation for King Charles III, Ben made a joke on air before announcing what day it is, Liverpool Echo reports. 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".
