Kate Garraway breaks silence on being branded a 'traitor' and says 'I'm having a hard time'

Celebrity Traitors star Kate Garraway has finally spoken out about Tom Daley's side-eye, confessing she's having a "hard time" on the programme.

The 58 year old presenter joined the celebrity version of the hit BBC show, having been a fan of the original series.

However, just two episodes in, Kate has already faced backlash from viewers for 'acting like a Traitor' despite being a Faithful.

Her fellowTraitor celebrities have also noticed her behaviour, with viewers spotting Olympian Tom Daley giving the journalist a 'side eye' during last night's (October 9) episode.

On Friday's (October 10) edition of Good Morning Britain, Kate and co-star Adil Ray updated viewers on the latest news from across the UK and around the world, reports Wales Online.

They were joined in the studio by comedian Melvin Odoom for the showbiz segment, and it wasn't long before the conversation turned to the recent episode of The Traitors.

In last night's coffin-themed challenge, singer Paloma Faith was revealed to have been 'murdered' by the Traitors, leaving Tom surprised at Kate's reaction.

After it was announced that Paloma had been killed, Kate exclaimed, "I'm flabbergasted," earning a side-eye glance from Daley.

Later, Tom was chatting to Alan Carr, Cat Burns and Charlotte Church, discussing thoughts that Kate could be a Traitor.

Kate addressed the situation, stating: "The weird thing for me is like everyone at home we don't know anything that is happening, we don't know about the people talking about us behind our back and it prompted a massive conversation with my kids last night."

She went on to say: "'Oh my gosh people are talking about you behind your back, what is going to happen'. It allowed me to have the conversation with them that this is a game and everyone in there is playing a game.

"Actually in life you can't control what people say about you so you just have to be yourself. I just had to say that so people don't blame Tom Daley or anyone else."

However, that wasn't the only moment of drama. Kate raised eyebrows after her dramatic outburst during breakfast.

When all the celebrities arrived at breakfast without a murder having occurred, Kate dramatically stood up and suggested The Traitors could have recruited someone.

Some of the other contestants also felt she was behaving differently than usual.

Melvn couldn't resist sharing a clip from the episode as co-star Adil playfully mimicked the moment by standing up and recreating the scene.

Everyone burst into laughter as Kate confessed: "Oh my goodness, I'm having such a hard time."

Celebrity Traitors airs Wednesday and Thursday nights from 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer
