Kate Garraway made a return to Good Morning Britain on Monday after being forced off the show last week. Viewers are used to seeing the presenter host the Thursday and Friday editions of the ITV news programme alongside Ben Shephard.
However, last week fans tuned in to see Ben hosting alongside Ranvir Singh one day and Charlotte Hawkins the other. Many will have assumed Kate, 54, was taking a break after stepping into the main hosting role over the Easter holidays in place of Susanna Reid.
But that wasn't the case as the TV star and Smooth Radio host took to Instagram over the weekend to share why she was absent from GMB last week.

As the latest episode of her new Saturday show, Garraway's Good Stuff, aired on ITV, Kate shared a clip from the episode of her and guest Peter Andre bouncing on mini trampolines. She wrote to her followers: "So apologies for my absence from @gmb this last week - had to deal with some 'urgents' at home."
She carried on: "But before that managed to get a whole hour dollop of #garrawaysgoodstuff in the bag for you . Great #feelgood shares from @peterandre & @jamesbaymusic - plus this?! Note to self - wear a sports bra - note to @peterandre - wear a belt."
While Kate didn't elaborate on her issues at home, fans know that Kate helps care for her husband Derek Draper as well as look after their two children, 16-year-old Darcey and Billy, 12.
Fans rushed to the post to send the popular presenter their best wishes. @michelle_hewitson shared: "Hope all OK Kate. Lovely to meet you at the care awards last month."
"Do hope everything is ok," ruthandkathy said as @nettyray2020 commented:
