Kate Garraway, 54, has spoken frankly about her husband Derek Drapper’s health battle since the start of the pandemic but now she’s sadly revealed her own medical concerns.
The Good Morning Britain host explained to her ITV colleague Ranvir Singh that she’s been left struggling to see.
Mum-of-two Kate admitted she was struggling to see Ranvir over the studio during Thursday’s show.
After Ranvir asked: “Can you see me? This is the issue,” Kate candidly replied: “Not really”.
The duo went on to explain how Kate’s eye infection and poor eye sight has delayed a mystery joint project they are working on.

Former Strictly star Ranvir continued: “We were meant to be doing something earlier in the week, weren’t we.”
Nodding, Kate continued: “We were doing a special little project, which you can see more about later in the year.”
Playfully hitting out, Ranvir teased: “But then you bailed on me, Garraway, you bailed on me.”
Kate continued: “I did bail because I couldn’t see.

“It’s always one of my excuses because I can barely read the autocue at the best of times. I had an eye infection last Friday.
“You’ll remember it was watering a little bit when I was doing the show.
“And then it spread to the other eye and I couldn’t put my contacts in. I couldn’t see anything.”
Going into detail, Kate added: “I was actually sending random texts to people with the wrong thing.

“I transferred some money into the wrong account and I had to ask for it back.
“It was mortifying.”
In another blow to the star, she went on to reveal she is also suffering from an “inner ear infection”.
Sympathising, Ranvir went on to support Kate by insisting the past 12 months sheen trough would set anyone back.
Humble as ever, Kate said: “It’s nothing serious, it was just frustrating and annoying.”
