Kate Garraway was left stunned she discovered she has a link to the iconic character that is Paddington Bear. The Good Morning Britain presenter has teamed up with Alison Hammond for ITV series DNA Journey as they both discover details about their families they never knew.
During the upcoming episode, set to air on ITV on Thursday (October 6), Kate was introduced to Karen Jankel, the daughter of the late creator of Paddington Bear, Michael Bond.
Kate, 55, discovered that the pair have the same three times great-grandparent and shared an emotional embrace after meeting close to the London train station that bears the much-loved character's name. As many will be familiar, the children’s book character famously arrived in London from the deepest, darkest jungles of Peru and first appeared in print in 1958 in the book A Bear Called Paddington.
