Kate Garraway had an emotional weekend after her daughter Darcey turned 18, just weeks after the teenager carried her father's Derek's coffin at his funeral. Good Morning Britain presenter Kate, 56, revealed her daughter "didn't want a celebration" as it was too soon after Derek's death in early January, so they opted for a "small family lunch at home" - organised with the help of close friend Myleene Klass.
Derek, a former political lobbyist, died earlier this year at 56 after a long battle with the devastating effects of Covid. Kate and Derek's eldest child Darcey - who has a younger brother William, 14 - carried her dad's coffin at his funeral service held at the same church Kate and Derek married 20 years ago.
Taking to her social media on Monday, 11 March, to celebrate Darcey's milestone birthday, Kate wrote: "So yesterday our little baby Darcey got officially and legally big - 18 !!! She had said she didn’t want a celebration as it was too soon after her dad passing, but maybe a small family lunch at home . She continued: "I knew her dad would want the day to be marked and special though so I sent up a bat signal to @myleeneklass who rallied the most amazing gang of #warriorwomen & #warriormen ." Myleene, who attended Derek's packed funeral service last month, helped Kate organise the party and Kate later posted a sneak peek of it online.
The former Hear'Say singer expressed her awe in an Instagram post, writing: "How she pulled it off, I can't believe it.
It looks amazing." Kate's Instagram video featured behind-the-scenes party preparations with both women, as well as with lush pink cake topped with golden cherries. "Huge thanks for insane kindness goes to Meg @mysticalfairiesparties ( including the most gorgeous
