Kate Garraway didn't recognise Gareth Bale when they collected their MBEs from Prince William

Kate Garraway has revealed she didn't recognise Wales footballer Gareth Bale when they both collected their MBEs from Prince William at Windsor Castle. The Good Morning Britain presenter's husband Derek Draper watched from a wheelchair nearby as she collected her honour for services to broadcasting, journalism and charity.

The TV presenter, whose parents, Gordon and Marilyn Garraway, also attended the ceremony, said it was "wonderful" to share the day with her family, but she admitted that during the "wonderful day" she embarrassed herself in front of the former Wales captain.

Urged by co-presenter Ben Shephard on Thursday's show to "please tell the Gareth Bale story", she told viewers what happened.
