Kate Garraway has revealed the "horror" mishap that happened behind the scenes as she was about to go on air for Good Morning Britain. The presenter joked there were "backstage dramas" at the ITV show as she tried to remedy an unfortunate accident.
In a video shared to Instagram, the TV star, 58, revealed that she'd chipped her two front teeth caps at the weekend - which then fell out just as the cameras were about to start rolling. In the caption, she wrote: "Backstage dramas @gmb - and for once it's real!
"Letting you in on the horror behind the scenes on Monday's show… After an unfortunate collision with a taxi window at the weekend, I cracked my two front teeth caps.. of course they then fell out just before going on air."
However, the mother-of-two appeared to see the funny side of the situation. "All I can say is it’s hard to appear young and cool in front of a whole new team of trendy producers when you are reduced to gluing your teeth on with denture fixative at three in the morning!!!" she mused.

Her post has received more than 7,300 'likes' and hundreds of sympathetic comments. Fellow Good Morning Britain presenter Susannah Reid wrote "Oh my", while Ashley James exclaimed "Omg Kate!!". And Myleene Klass added: "Noooooooooooo."
