Kate Garraway has revealed that she was moved to tears by the overwhelming support she received from her Good Morning Britain colleagues upon her return to work.
The 57-year-old star - who celebrated her birthday on May 4 - returned to the studio on Friday and was touched by the gifts she received from her workmates, including host Susanna Reid, reports the Mirror.

She took to social media to document the day, saying: "Well
