Kate Garraway was overcome with emotion on tonight’s episode of Life Stories.
Kate, who is taking over hosting duties of the show from Piers Morgan, was moved to tears when Piers revealed he had her husband Derek’s anniversary card to her in the studio.

During one of the video montages on the programme, Derek’s parents addressed Kate and said: “Thank you for all you’re doing for Derek and the children and we love you so much.”

Recalling the touching moment, Kate shared: “It’s moments like that which make you realise he is there, and we have had others. He will turn to me and say ‘I love you.’
“He is there, he has fought so hard to stay in this world and I’m not giving up on him, ever.”
