An ITV star was forced to step in to help.<\/p>\n

Good Morning Britain<\/a> viewers aired their concern for presenter Kate Garraway<\/a> during Monday’s show as the ITV<\/a> star could be heard battling a hoarse throat. It seems as though it had got worse over the duration of the programme,<\/a> as Susanna Reid<\/a> told viewers she had gone home.<\/p>\n

Susanna explained: “As you may have noticed earlier this morning, Kate Garraway had a very hoarse voice; she was belting it out at the National Television Awards last week, and her voice has not fully recovered. So, we have put her on vocal rest, and Faye Barker has valiantly come to the rescue and is here with the rest of this morning’s news.”<\/p>\n

Speaking about the impromptu switch on the programme, Faye commented: “Morning, amazing who you can find in a cupboard at ITN when needed!”<\/p>\n

Earlier in the show, Kate addressed her throat, assuring viewers she didn’t feel unwell. She commented, “So sorry, I’m in absolutely no pain, I don’t feel unwell, but I talked way too much last week. <\/p>\n

“So it’s a little bit like the news is being brought to you by Barry White this morning. I hope it doesn’t impede your understanding of the important stories we have.” <\/p>\n

During her news segment, her co-star, Jonathan Swain, was reporting live from Glasgow as he told Kate that when he returned, he would bring her a cough sweet to help with her throat.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Susanna and Ed questioned Kate on the hoarseness of her voice, as Ed asked if it was ‘excessive’ Saturday night karaoke. She denied that, although she said she lost it over the weekend. She said: “I know it sounds really painful to listen to, I’m sorry. But, I’m not in pain.”<\/p>\n

Heading to Laura Tobin for some advice, Kate was told a plethora of remedies that could help before being told not to talk, which made her laugh as she replied: “Not in my nature, Laura!”<\/p>\n

However, despite telling people she felt well, Good Morning Britain viewers quickly noticed a change in Kate’s voice. Before Faye had stepped in, someone else on X said, “Someone send Kate home! She’s clearly not well. Look after her, please, ITV! Where’s the rest of the clan!!”<\/p>\n

Another shared: “Isn’t Kate going to lose her voice completely being made to talk?” While a third wrote: “GMB<\/a> employs an entire plethora of staff, and yet they’ve still got Kate Garraway on here struggling for her life reading an autocue with a voice like that. Why? It’s not heroic, it’s annoying.”<\/p>\n
