Kate Garraway has recalled the moment a pal asked her when she “stopped doing porn” after discovering an altered image of herself on the internet. The 56-year-old appeared on Channel 4 talk show Late Night Lycett with Joe Lycett on Friday night and was asked by the host if there had been any fake news circling about her from her years in the limelight.
The Good Morning Britain host revealed she made a horror discovery that her face had been placed on a naked image on the internet. Host Joe, 35, asked: “How about you Kate, you’re a respected journalist, surely there’s never been any fake news about you?”
She responded: “Well there’s lots of things that go around, a lot of the stuff that looks fake is stuff I’ve done that I think is ridiculous. You get things where you’re fake selling stuff and I never want people to believe that.
“I actually do have friends that don’t work in television and radio and they’ve come to me before, one of them my friend Karen said, ‘When did you stop doing porn?’.” The studio audience were left shocked at this point and let out a gasp as the ITV star continued with her story.
Kate explained: “I thought, ‘There’s so much in that sentence that I need to unpack, why did you think I ever did?’ Anyway, she showed me some stuff which was my face on somebody else’s body and it was done really well, really well.
“My body looked amazing, I was so agile, it’s the genuine truth but it’s worrying as you think, ‘My mum wouldn’t like that’.”
Kate’s revelation comes after GMB viewers threatened to switch off from Friday’s episode after Kate and co-host Adil Ray were in a playful mood.
The television host threw an alarm clock over her shoulder as a camera panned to the item on the floor.
Adil burst into laughter after Kate’s dramatic throw, and it was clear the clock was broken as the glass screen had cracked.
The alarm could be heard in the background as Adil continued to cackle over the situation on the ITV news programme.
While the pair found the incident amusing, it caused some viewers to ‘switch off’ and hit out on X, formerly known as Twitter.
One person said: “That was cringeworthy. Had to turn over to BBC.”
While a second shared: “Switched off… Mouthy Shouty Ray is on… I refuse to watch him… he is so Labourite and should be neutral.. will always switch him off…”
