ITV's Ranvir Singh 'emotional' as Good Morning Britain co-star Kate Garraway gets top honour

Ranvir Singh has penned an emotional and heartfelt post in tribute to her Good Morning Britain co-star Kate Garraway, after the presenter received an MBE on Wednesday.

Presenter Kate was recognised in the 2022 New Year Honours for her services to broadcasting, journalism, and charity and received the accolade from Prince William, in a ceremony at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, with husband Derek Draper in attendance, three years on from his life threatening battle with Covid.

Speaking to ITV about getting an MBE, Kate said: "It's an incredible thing because I definitely don't feel I deserve it but it is something very special," she told ITV News. The whole event is very special, the Prince of Wales handles it beautifully. You're in with incredible people, who you hear the stories of."

She added: "It's also lovely for my mum and dad, and for Derek to be here with the children. I didn't think it would be but you do feel very emotional - in a good way."

As well as having her family around her for her special moment, Kate was also joined by some of her ITV colleagues, with Ben Shephard, Susanna Reid, Laura Tobin and Richard Arnold all there to be support her. Ranvir was also there to celebrate Kate's achievement and, reflecting on a very special day, Ranvir took to Instagram to post: "A beautiful afternoon with the one and only @kategarraway MBE, celebrating her general National Treasure-ness We salute you M’am Garraway! So moving to sit down to a meal with Derek, Billy, Darcy, and your mum and dad - alongside your other family @gmb to show you all the love we have in our hearts for you."

Ranvir continued: "You gave a wonderful, funny, touching speech where you thanked everyone at the table but didn’t say a word about yourself - typical. We thank YOU for always enriching our lives with your whirlwind energy, wit, warmth, and intellect. We are here for all of it, for as long as you need us.. and then some."
