I'm A Celeb star Kate Garraway defended by husband over claims she smuggled in make-up

Kate Garraway's husband Derek Draper defended her natural beauty.

The Good Morning Britain star, 52, was hit with a swarm of I'm A Celeb viewers claiming she smuggled make-up into the jungle.

But her husband, also 52, rubbished the claims as he insisted she never looks better than her fresh-faced mornings.

The dad-of-two gushed her begs his wife not to wear any make-up on their romantic getaways because she's so naturally stunning.

Derek told The Sun : "Take it from someone who knows - she never looks better than first thing in the morning.

"When we go on romantic breaks I beg her not to put make-up on. She's naturally beautiful, and adorable and awesome, and she's smashing it in the jungle."

"Darcey, Bill [their children] and me are so proud."

Kate was delighted her luxury item - which was concealer - made it safely into the jungle.

Social media was awash with cruel accusations in which fans claimed Kate had sneaked in make-up.

Viewers failed to believe the journalist wasn't wearing any cosmetic products during her jungle stint, in Australia.

"Are we ignoring the fact that Kate Garraway is covered in makeup? or is it allowed somehow? #ImACeleb ." One fan wrote, leading the troops.

Others added: "How’s Kate Garraway got a face full of makeup on? Are they allowed things like this now in camp :/ #ImACeleb ."

"I am confused, why has Kate Garraway got makeup on on the 2nd day of I’m a celeb? I’m sure you’re not allowed makeup & stuff #ImACelebrityGetMeOutOfHere ."

"So we’re just ignoring the fact that Kate Garraway still has a full face of makeup? Ok cool. #ImACeleb ."

But show sources gushed it genuinely is Kate's natural beauty as she has no access to make-up to top up while she is in the jungle.

An insider said: "Kate isn't wearing or topping up make-up in the jungle."

The Mirror has approached a representative for ITV for further comment.
