Her colleague Adil Ray added: “I’ve heard it makes no difference in your house whether there’s builders there or not, to be honest!”

Kate quipped: “Don’t get a documentary crew around today.”

Susanna Reid said: “That just shows how down to earth you are, Kate. Don’t you think?”

It comes after viewers defended Kate against the comments about her house.

One person said in response to a troll: “Says more about you than Kate when you watched such a heartbreaking programme and that’s what you took from it!”

A third wrote in reply to another troll: “Where do you think she gets the time considering she’s under considerable stress?!”

Meanwhile, Kate also told her GMB co-stars she was “overwhelmed” by the support she received.

She said: “It’s been absolutely overwhelming in a really wonderful way.

“So many comments from people and the reactions have been extraordinary.”
