Television presenter Kate Garraway put on a brave face and hosted a birthday bash for her son Billy this afternoon.
The Good Morning Britain star celebrated her youngest child’s upcoming 11th birthday in style with an I’m A Celebrity themed event in the garden.
Katie, 53, wanted to make the most of the happy occasion, as her husband Derek Draper remains in hospital.
The proud mum of two has taken to Instagram to document Billy’s special day, describing how her hubby was usually one that organised the family events.
Alongside a snap of herself and pal Myleene Klass, she wrote: “So I was super nervous about Bill’s birthday this year – we usually have a family do with grandparents and a few of his friends but obviously this not possible.

“So we are seeing grandparents separately but wanted to do something for him and his mates in the garden.”
She added: “Derek is so brilliant at this, organising treasure hunts and boys own adventures so mentioned to @myleeneklass really didn’t want to let Bill down and did she know anyone with a tent we could borrow in case it was wet.
“Little did I know what I was unleashing! She is in her element! At 8.30 this morning she arrived with Apollo in tow to supervise the brilliant @sleepyteepeeuk to set up the most amazing jungle camp ever.”
The telly favourite went on to share a video of the birthday boy going inside the surprise teepee tent, which featured several camp beds and games for him and his friends to play.

Kate penned alongside the cute video: “When Billy woke up he could not believe his eyes!!!! Thanks @sleepyteepeeuk & @myleeneklass and the fabulous @ariannemerry … feel so emotional but know Derek will be so proud and pleased. Can never thank you enough.”
Billy’s surprises didn’t end there as Kate’s I’m A Celebrity campmate Roman Kemp joined the celebrations.
ITV star Kate posted a video of Roman, 27, running around her garden with Billy and his friends with a water pistol.
She captioned the video: “And what’s a #jungle camp without a surprise visit from an @imacelebrity star?! Cue @romankemp surprise arrival – who do you think is loving the #nerf war the most??!!! Thanks @romankemp you are a total star & great mate – so lovely to see you & your Dad @martinjkemp xxx”
