Kate Garraway breaks down in tears on Good Morning Britain after Sam Ryder performance

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway broke down in tears after a huge star performed on the show.

Eurovision winner Sam Ryder performed a heartfelt acoustic version of his new song Fought & Lost in the ITV studio this week, the Mirror reports.

As the camera cut back to Kate, who was sat next to co-host Ben Shephard, she was seen wiping away tears.

“Have you gone?” Ben asked, before Kate – clearly surprised at her own reaction – said: “Oh my God. That has floored me.”

Composing herself, the 56-year-old TV star told Sam: “The lyrics and that voice. Sam, you’ve finished me off!”

“Bless you, thank you,” Sam replied as he told fans he would be performing more gigs later this year.

Sam’s new track also features Queen legend Brian May and will appear in an episode of American comedy-drama series Ted Lasso. The hit show follows American football coach Ted (played by Jason Sudeikis) who is hired to coach an English soccer team.

GMB star Kate’s emotional moment comes in the same week she was awarded an MBE by Prince William for her services to broadcasting, journalism and her charity work.

Proud husband Derek Draper, who is still suffering the effects of long Covid, proudly looked on as his wife received the accolade at Windsor Castle. However, Kate revealed afterward that she failed to recognise other famous faces who were receiving awards that day.

"I was walking along pushing Derek through and we walked past somebody, a very dashing young man and a beautiful girl and I was taken with her and her lovely outfit so I said, 'Congratulations.'"

"As we went past, Derek said, 'That's Gareth Bale,' and I said, 'Oh was it?'" Kate added before going back to speak to the legendary Welsh footballer.

Speaking about being awarded an MBE, Kate said she felt a bit "awkward" but was "honoured" to receive it.

She said: "I actually feel very awkward about it all really, I don't know why, because I'm thrilled to bits and incredibly honoured.

"But you just sort of think 'What? Me?', and then you think it's not real."
