Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway quipped that she was looking ’emotional’ live on air as she admitted she’d been battling a ‘rabid’ eye infection in Friday’s show.
During the live breakfast segment, the TV presenter, 57, revealed that she was attempting to hide her sore eyes behind her glasses.
Despite her teary-eye appearance, Kate made light of the situation and joked it was also ‘partly’ due to England’s men’s football team securing their spot in the Euro 2024 final.
‘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,’ she said.
‘So I’m wearing my rose-tinted spectacles, so I can see everybody!’

‘I thought you were getting emotional about the game,’ Kate’s co-host Adil Ray quipped, to which she replied: ‘There’s an element of that too!
‘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.’
It comes as Kate was hit with a £32,000 bill from liquidators for closing Derek’s psychotherapy company after being crippled by a £700,000 tax bill.
The star has been ordered to pay the £32,000 flat fee as well as 40 per cent of assets recovered from psychotherapeutic company Astra Aspera.
Kate has already been left £1.5million in debt from the cost of Derek’s care and money owed to the taxman.

Now the liquidators are investigating the possibility of any other assets which could be used to pay off company debts, The Sun reported.
Kate previously revealed she resorted to withdrawing money from her pension pot to pay the huge bills from Derek’s medical care.
In an ITV documentary in April, the star admitted she couldn’t even afford to have the heating on in October.

Kate revealed that she’s taken money out of her pension to pay for Derek’s belated medical bills, after sharing the results of a GMB survey, which revealed one in five Brits are getting themselves into debt while funding private medical care.
She said: ‘I am doing something similar myself.
‘I have had to withdraw the bit you can tax free from my pension to pay for belated bills for my husband, who has now passed away.
‘People are having to do things – it wasn’t a huge pension in the first place – which aren’t what they saved for.’
Kate previously shared that she researched accessing her pension fund early to try and fund Derek’s care.
In a recent episode of Good Morning Britain, she said: ‘It’s only when a crisis hits you suddenly think hmm.
‘I have experience of this, Derek fell very ill in March 2020. I was aware that he had some pensions, I had a small one that I knew.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Kate Garraway for comment.
