ITV Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway told to ‘move on’ by producers
On Thursday’s Good Morning Britain, Kate Garraway was urged to change the subject and ‘move on’.
The 57-year-old presenter, along with colleague Ed Balls, was dissecting the day’s hot topics, which included an unusual story of a dive-bombing hawk attacking tall men in a village in Hertfordshire.
Co-presenter Ranvir Singh didn’t hold back her thoughts, speculating on the bird’s motives for targeting people. This led to Kate quipping: “She’s all over this!” while Ed chimed in with: “All these theories going around this morning!”
Even though the production team signaled it was time to wrap up the hawk saga, Kate confessed: “The producers are saying to ‘move on’ but I’d be quite happy to talk about this all morning, I’m fascinated here!” to which Ed wittily retorted: “Or… if we wait long enough, the hawk will appear!”
It comes as the hawk has caused chaos in a Hertfordshire village as it targets unsuspecting tall men, attacking their heads. It is believed that the bird is responsible for around 20 attacks in Flamstead.
Elsewhere, Kate will soon be swapping ITV for Channel 4 as she’s entering The Great Celebrity Bake Off For Stand Up To Cancer.
Prior to this baking challenge, Kate shared: “I’ve never really done it. I love cooking and always seem to know how to combine ingredients to make something delicious but that’s different because you can taste it as you go. Baking is a different ball game entirely”, reports the Manchester Evening News.
“You take egg and flour and butter, that taste and look like one thing on their own, then put them together and they create something completely different. Baking is alchemy.
“So, I don’t think I’ve come out proving myself a Merlin, but I’m hoping not to be the Wicked Witch of the West.”
Talking about her favourite bakes, she added: “You can’t go wrong with a Victoria Sponge with a fresh cream middle, I love cake. But I also love savoury bakes – sausage rolls and so on. It’s all delicious.”
The celebs are all taking part in support of Stand Up To Cancer, a joint national fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK
and Channel 4.
Hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding will be providing encouragement as the stars take on a signature bake, a technical bake and a showstopper.
Meanwhile, judge Paul Hollywood is back, while Prue Leith’s long-standing friend and former colleague Caroline Waldegrave is standing in for Prue.
Good Morning Britain continues on weekdays at 6am on ITV and ITV X.
