Kate Garraway flooded with support as she returns to Good Morning Britain after weeks off air to care for sick father

Kate Garraway was flooded with support on Monday morning when she returned to Good Morning Britain after a two-week absence due to her father Gordon's ill health.

Gordon was rushed to hospital in July after suffering a suspected stroke and heart attack and Kate travelled to Cornwall to be there for him.

Kate made a triumphant return alongside Ed Balls who controversially interviewed his own wife,Yvette Cooper,during the episode. 

Excited to once again see the mother-of-two on their television screens,fans wrote on X,formerly Twitter: 'Lovely to have you back @kategarraway,radiant in yellow. #GMB';

'@kategarraway Good Morning Kate,hope all is well. It's so nice to see you back on GMB. Can I say you're looking absolutely gorgeous'; 

On Instagram on Saturday,Kate shared her appreciation and thanks to Virgin Atlantic for helping her amid her father's illness 

'Thanks though to the Virgin team's incredible logistical brains - & a flight plan that looked like a spider’s web!!! 

'I have managed to keep plates spinning & grab some joy in between.'

The mother-of-two continued to express her thanks to the team for being understanding: 'But most of all thank you so much to for just “getting it” & knowing that the specialness of the journey is as important as the destination . 

'Your kindness has made an emotional flight so special.'

In July,after not appearing on her usual slots on Good Morning Britain or Smooth Radio,Kate shared that her father had collapsed and suffered from a suspected stroke or heart attack. 

At the time a source told The Sun: 'Very sadly,Kate's father collapsed earlier this week while staying,along with her mum and her brother in Cornwall.

'It was incredibly frightening as he was found unconscious and immediately taken to hospital. 

'It seems likely that he's had a stroke and possibly a heart attack as well - doctors are still doing tests.'
