Ben Shephard was quick to defend his co-star's line of questioning during the latest episode of Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back on the ITV news programme on Thursday alongside Ranvir Singh. Ranvir has been hosting Lorraine Kelly's self-titled show but has stepped in for Kate Garraway.
Kate was missing from the show at the end of last week with ITV confirming the 55-year-old would be off for at least a few days but did not confirm the reason for her absence. They added that she'll be back "as soon as possible" with many thinking that would be this week.
Last week, Charlotte confirmed: "Kate’s not here. She’s taking some time out to be with Derek at the moment so we’re sending her lots of love," while Kate's fellow ITV star confirmed her husband was back in hospital amid a setback in his Covid recovery.
