Kate Garraway is left squirming at GMB’s 50th birthday surprise

The breakfast host didn't know where to look when her co-presenters screened her most embarrassing moments

Hard to believe as it, the gorgeous Kate Garraway is 50 years old today.

Yes fifty!

Well, if she didn’t want people to know about it, Kate was certainly not in luck as her co-presenters went to town on celebrating her big day!

And Ben Shephard spent much of his time poking fun at her landmark age, even joshing when he saw a vintage black and white picture of her as a child “How old are you really?”

To mark her day, the show’s production team assembled a montage of her funniest moments on the show – such as the time wicked Ben pulled Kate in to a bath of water and the moment she had to rush off set when her phone rang mid-show.

Although clearly touched at the thought, a horrified Kate couldn’t help but squirm at the footage of her looking ridiculous, which also included her being pounded on by a gorilla.

Earlier in the show, Ben and Susanna couldn’t stifle their giggles when a photograph of teenage Kate with brunette hair was flashed up on-screen.

And cheeky chappy Ben just couldn’t help but poke fun at his 50 year old co-presenter and joked “Are we still pretending [your 50th] didn’t happen years ago?”

Kate hit back: “People thought I was 50 a year ago. It’s given me a year to adjust and rejoice.”

She then joshed, “How lovely to be here to celebrate with you.

“Fifty years of banging on about nonsense – thanks for putting up with me!”

She then addressed viewers: “Thank you for putting up with me for so many years.”

Fans flooded Twitter with messages of congratulations – with many suggesting she looked 20 years younger.

But the highlight of the show for Kate was when her mum and dad and children surprised her and looked back at the day she was born, revealing: “I was in hospital at 6pm and was there until 3am!”
