Journalist Kate Garraway treated her daughter Darcey to a special night out at the theatre after a “tough week” amid her husband Derek’s health battle.
Kate and her daughter Darcey celebrated her 16th birthday at the theatre and shared a selfie to mark the occasion.
The 54 year old took her to London’s Dominion Theatre to see the stage production of 80s classic, Dirty Dancing.
She took the snap as they sat in their seats in front of the stage and neon flashing lights.
Darcey posed with her hand on her chin as she leaned on the seat in front of her, wearing a white long sleeve top with matching nails and a crown to top off the look.

Kate sat next to the birthday girl and had styled her long blonde hair in front of her face as she accessorised with a striped scarf.
She wrote in the caption: “Well, what a way to celebrate your 16th birthday eve! Dirty Dancing on stage is the best fun and we are both in love with Johnny, and yes, Darcey has already told me no-one puts her in the corner!”
Kate continued: “Just what the doctor ordered after a tough week. The season ends at Easter so if you get the chance, go do it!”

The Good Morning Britain presenter has found herself leaning on her children for their support throughout her husband’s health battle.
Darcey and her brother Billy appeared on Kate’s episode of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories and watched their mother from the audience, but Piers got the siblings involved when he asked them a question.
Piers asked Billy “how proud of his mum” he is: “Very proud, I’m really proud of her.”

He then turned to Darcey and asked her how she has coped the last few years: “She’s amazing, obviously. She looks after us, she always encourages us. It’s really good, we’re really proud of her.”
Piers added that they “should be” proud of their mum.

He was seriously ill within the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic and was rushed to hospital, where he was put into an induced coma.
Recently, Derek and Kate allowed camera crews inside their home to film Kate Garraway: Caring For Derek, a new documentary about the ITV presenter’s daily routines and tasks to help her spouse.
