Marmalade sandwiches might be in order for Kate Garraway from now on after discovering she is related to Paddington Bear's author. The Good Morning Britain host found out she has a family link to Michael Bond during an episode of ITV's DNA Journey, which airs tomorrow night (October 6), during which she also visited Bristol.
Kate met Karen Jankel, Bond's daughter, as part of the show, with it revealed they have the same three times great-grandparent. During an emotional meeting at Paddington Station, where the famous fictional bear first turned up in London, Karen said she wanted to introduce Kate, 55, to her "famous brother", going onto whip out a stuffed toy Paddington.
Karen told Kate: "Paddington and I grew up together. The reason is that my father was Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington, which means that of course you are also related to Michael Bond."
