ITV Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway forced to apologise as she's slammed by guest for 'disingenuous' claim

Kate Garraway was forced into an apology on the latest edition on Good Morning Britain after a guest hit back at her 'disingenuous' claim. The presenter was back at the helm of the ITV news programme on Friday (October 7) alongside co-host Ben Shephard.

The pair were joined on the latest edition of the show by Minister of State for Climate, Graham Stuart MP, who scolded Kate during discussions on potential energy blackouts this winter. Th e National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) warned on Thursday, in what it called an “unlikely” scenario, that households and businesses might face planned three-hour outages to ensure that the grid does not collapse.

Planned blackouts last hit the UK during the 1970s in response to the miners strikes and the oil crisis. But the lights will stay on this winter unless the gas-fired power plants that produced 43 percent of Britain’s electricity over the last year cannot get enough gas to continue operating.
