Good Morning Britain viewers amazed after finding out host Kate Garraway's age

Good Morning Britain fans were left stunned after finding out the age of presenter Kate Garraway.

Kate returned to the ITV programme on Thursday, alongside co-host Ben Shepard. Ben started a conversation and appeared to be talking about the coronation of King Charles III, before announcing it was Kate's birthday.

He said: "There's so much preparation, organisation going on at the moment for... Kate Garraway's birthday". He quickly added: "Oh I think people are disappointed, they thought I was talking about the coronation".

Kate said: "People keep saying 'oh we forgot'. How many years have I been on this show and you forgot? It's [also] Star Wars day!"

Ben asked Kate how old she turned today, asking her if she turns 59. Kate replied: "I would be proud to be 59. I am only, though, 56."

In a group for GMB fans, one Facebook user created a birthday post for Kate, featuring a photo of the presenter. It read: "Happy 56th birthday Kate. Many happy returns xxxx"

Other social media users were quick to send well wishes, with many taken aback by her age, reports the Liverpool Echo. One said: "Happy birthday Kate, 56 never looked better", while a second said: "56??? She looks amazing".

A third said: "Looks more like 46, looking great KG".
