Kate Garraway has been hosting Lorraine for the past few days, as the usual Scottish host is taking a break over the holidays.

Kate Garraway, the renowned Good Morning Britain presenter, has taken the helm at  Lorraine Kelly’s ITV show during the holiday season, as the Scottish host enjoys break.

Wrapping up Wednesday’s show, the ITV star informed viewers it was her final day in charge.

Expressing gratitude, she cheerfully told viewers: “Thanks for having me, all of you!

“You’ll all be relieved to know Christine is here tomorrow, joined by Emmerdale’s Joe Tate.”

With Lorraine usually away, it’s often down to Ranvir Singh and Christine Lampard to share the duties; but fans have been particularly delighted to witness Kate step into the spotlight this week, reports Manchester Evening News.

Overwhelmed with nostalgic joy, she kicked off the programme at the start of the week, commenting: “Hello! Dr. Hilary is here with me to hold my hand. Thanks, Hil.”

Her colleague, Dr. Hilary, welcomed her warmly, noting how much time had passed since Kate last filled in for Lorraine.

The ITV favourite remarked: “It’s lovely to be back, Christine and Ranvir obviously always come and do the show when Lorraine is off.

“They weren’t free, so they had a good old scrape at the bottom of the barrel and found me!”

Dr Hilary inquired about the well-being of Kate and her kids, Billy and Darcey, to which she disclosed that her son is currently amidst his GCSEs.
