Kate Garraway revealed her trusty family car has been stolen from outside her home, leaving her children upset.
The theft comes as her husband Derek Draper remains in hospital, with coronavirus having wreaked havoc on his internal organs in a devastating health battle.
Speaking on Monday’s Good Morning Britain, Kate, 53, revealed her “battered” family Volvo was thieved from right outside her house, leaving her co-stars sickened.
She announced: “Can you believe it, my car has been stolen.”
The car, which Kate had affectionately named “Vicky Volvo” apparently “disappeared from outside the house,” leaving Kate unable to do a grocery shop or ferry her children around.

Furious, Piers Morgan branded the thieves as “scumbags” as he issued a plea for car dealers to sort a new car for Kate.
He fumed: “It makes me puke that somebody has done this, Kate. You will have a car.”
Kate admitted her children, Darcey, 14, and Billy, 11, were worst affected by the theft, saying: “Also, I don’t know why it was such body blow, particularly to Billy.”
Referring to their beloved dad’s hospitalisation, she added: “It’s just another thing that got grabbed away.”

Describing the car in the hopes a viewer would find it, she added: “It’s silver, it’s battered, it’s old, it’s got a roof box.”
She added: “One of the practical problems which a lot of people would have experienced if they have the absence of someone in their life, like many things, the car is in Derek’s name.”
While Kate initially suspected the car had been towed away due to unpaid ticket fines, she later realised it had been thieved.

She said: “I spent a few days sort of ringing around trying to find out if that was the case. The police were very helpful and they did some searches as well. But it doesn’t seem to be the case, it’s actually been stolen.”
Raging on her behalf, Piers vented: “Let me get this straight. Some little scumbag, or scumbags, have come to your house and they’ve stolen your car when you’re going through what you’re going through.
“It is absolutely disgusting.”
Good Morning Britain airs on weekdays at 6am on ITV.
