Susanna Reid struggles to fight back tears as GMB host sends her support to Kate Garraway’s husband

Susanna Reid struggled to fight back tears on Good Morning Britain as the TV host offered her support to co-host Kate Garraway and her critically ill husband.

While presenting today's instalment of the ITV show, Susanna became visibly tearful as she spoke of Kate's husband Derek as he continues to battle with illnesses after contracting COVID-19.

The 49-year-old was joined by fellow presenter Piers Morgan, who also appeared upset, as the pair told viewers they're "all hoping for a miracle".

The sorely missed GMB presenter returned to the show on Friday, June 5, via a live webcam feed as she gave viewers an update on her husband's condition.

She shared how Derek, 52, has been in a comatose state in intensive care for the last 10 weeks, after contracting coronavirus.

Starting off today's episode of GMB, Susanna began by saying: "Before we begin, I think we both just want to send our love to our colleague and friend Kate Garraway.

"We both watched her interview on Good Morning Britain on Friday. Millions of you watched as well as she told you and us all about the situation about Derek.

"Absolutely heartbreaking for the family and then she did an interview over the weekend, more details came out.

"So huge, huge love to Kate, she's going through hell, the family's going through hell. There is hope still, of course.

"And she said they were hoping for "that miracle" - and we're all hoping with her. So huge love to Kate."
