Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway makes huge mistake as she can't get into house

Kate Garrawaystruggled to get into her own house on Friday. The Good Morning Britain presenter, 58, was wheeling a suitcase back to her home when she was shocked at the state of her garden.

The journalist had needed to get hold of some hardcore so she could do some reconstruction work on her garden, only to realise she had ordered way more than she needed and it was blocking her path to her front door.

She captioned the post: "Ok so this is less than ideal! Needed some hardcore for a small bit of #garden reconstruction - was advised about 2 tonnes - clicked on TWELVE tonnes!!!!"

On camera, she explained as the surprise began to unfold: "I thought it was gonna be a lot less! Why didn't they send it in bags?" When she learned that 12 tonnes had arrived, she doubled over laughing before she realised: "I think I clicked on the wrong thing! How am I actually gonna get in?"

As she took in the gravity of the situation, she added: "Seriously, how am I gonna get in? I'm not even joking anymore!" In the end, she was left with no choice but to tentatively climb over the pile of rubble.

As a construction worker advised her to take her time and reached out his hand, she wondered: "What am I going to do with it all? Right, so this is entirely my fault, isn't it?" In the end, she made it to her front door but couldn't help wondering what her son was going to think when he arrived home from school.

As she marvelled at what lay before her, she summarised: "So, basically, it's not two tonnes, it's 12 tonnes. Oh my God, I can't even blame anyone else! Oh no, this is a disaster!"

It all comes just weeks after former GMTV star Kate was said to have sold her second home after being left with "excessive unpayable debt" through caring for her late husband Derek Draper. She's reportedly sold a property in London for £1.5 million recently

She has previously spoken about the financial impact of having looked after Derek, who died, aged 56, last year. She's said to have been facing a debt of up to £800,000 for his care and has reportedly been paying off debts related to his company Astra Aspera, which shut down in 2022.

It's now been reported that Kate has sold her second home, which is said to be in North London. The news comes following speculation over her future on Good Morning Britain amid upcoming changes at ITV.

According to the Sun, Kate had a property, which it described as a flat, in North London that recently sold for £1.5 million, but it's said to have been "heavily mortgaged". A source added that she had been keeping the property as a "financial safety net".

The source told the outlet: "Kate takes paying off the debts very seriously and she's always said she'd go to any lengths to achieve that. This is just part of that commitment, even if it does mean she's had to lose the flat which she actually purchased years ago before meeting Derek and before they bought a family home together. Like many people, she was keeping it as a financial safety net which she thought she wouldn't have to use so soon."

The Daily Mail instead reports that the property, which it claims is in the process of being sold, was a three-bed townhouse in North London. It states that it had been up for rent for £6,750-a-month prior to going up for sale.

The Mirror understands that it was a house, rather than a flat, that has been on the market. We also understand that the property has already been sold.
