Kate Garraway MBE is a broadcaster, journalist, and author with more than three decades of experience across television and radio. She is a familiar face on ITV’s Good Morning Britain and a popular voice on Smooth Radio, where her weekday mid-morning show attracts more than two million listeners.
Kate’s broadcasting career has spanned news, current affairs, and entertainment. She has fronted programmes such as GMTV, Daybreak, and Sunrise on Sky News, and has appeared on Strictly Come Dancing, I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, The Masked Singer, and The Celebrity Traitors. She also brings her skills as an interviewer to the acclaimed DXB Unheard podcast. Beyond her daily broadcasting work, Kate is widely sought after as an event host and presenter, bringing warmth and professionalism to live stages as well as the screen.
In 2020, Kate’s husband Derek fell seriously ill with Covid-19, leading to years of complex care needs. Her experience as a caregiver not only shaped her personal life but also inspired her to write bestselling books and create a series of award-winning documentaries that highlighted the challenges faced by carers and the wider social care system. Through these projects, she gave a public voice to an often-overlooked community and helped bring their struggles into national conversation.
Kate is an ambassador for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and supports organisations including Carers First, The Prince’s Trust, and Global’s Make Some Noise. Following her experience of caring for her husband, she has become a leading advocate for both paid and unpaid carers, launching initiatives such as the UK’s first Social Care Card to provide recognition and practical support.
