The Good Morning Britain presenter reveals how she combats ageing, and how magical her Christmas is going to be this year.
Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway is one of our best-known TV and radio presenters. Over the years, she has fronted various shows including GMTV, Daybreak and Lorraine. She presents a mid-morning show on Smooth Radio on weekdays and earlier this year, she wrote her book The Joy of Big Knickers, about the questions she faced on her milestone 50th birthday in May. She married her second husband, former political advisor, Derek Draper, 50, now a psychotherapist, in 2005, and the couple live in north London. They have two children, Darcey, 11, and Billy, eight. Here, she opens up about Botox, power walking and being a naughty Santa.
‘Christmas with my kids is magical! Being a mum is everything to me. On Christmas Eve, we drive up to see my in-laws in Lancashire and, traditionally, we always decorate the car, choose songs for the travel playlist and dress up. One year I wore a naughty Santa outfit and it was really bad snow that year on the roads and I was thinking, “This will be really embarrassing if we break down!”’
‘I haven’t got a Christmas wish list. It may sound cheesy, but I’m so happy to be healthy and blessed with my lovely family that I don’t need anything. But at a push, I do want a potato masher that works and creams them properly!’
