GMB's Kate Garraway on why she may be 'looking a bit emotional'
Kate Garraway, 57, revealed she was suffering from an eye infection after fans expressed concern over her appearance.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain alongside Adil Ray, she explained: "We know not everybody is a footy fan… by the way, if I’m looking a bit emotional this morning, it’s partly the football, it’s also that I’ve got a rabid eye infection.
"So I’m wearing my rose-tinted spectacles, so I can see everybody!"
Adil commented: "I thought you were getting emotional about the game?"
"There’s an element of that too!" Kate hit back. "When I look through these spectacles I see a win!

"They’re rose-tinted and I see a win and I’m manifesting it! I think we should all just embrace something to be joyous about."
Later in the programme, Kate addressed the infection again, telling viewers: "I have very sore eyes, I'm borrowing Susanna's glasses."
GMB viewers had been quick to point out her sore eyes, with one posting on social media: "Is Kate ok? Her eyes don’t look right ?#GMB."
Another fan explained: "She said earlier she has an eye infection."
It comes after Kate admitted she was "barely holding it together" as she told Closer: "I’m just at that early stage at the moment of coming out of grief.
"I’m just barely holding it together. I haven’t actually been out that much so it’s nice to come out tonight, although it is a school night. I’m on telly tomorrow – so I won’t be able to stay out late."
Kate is trying to focus on celebrating life and supporting her two children Darcey and Billy, adding: "I’m very much celebrating life now, whatever the age. I don’t know whether I’ll do a party yet. Derek passed away so recently so it’s just one step at a time."
