Fans of ITV's Good Morning Britain have a lot to say about a particular detail regarding Kate Garraway that caught their attention. On the episode that aired on Friday, January 9, 2026, Kate and her co-host Ranvir Singh provided viewers with the latest updates on news both from the UK and around the globe.
In addition to their news coverage, they were joined by Laura Tobin, who shared vital weather updates as Storm Goretti unleashed fierce winds reaching up to 99 mph and heavy snowfall across the UK, leaving tens of thousands of households without power.
Viewers of ITV wasted no time in expressing their opinions on social media platform X (previously known as Twitter), immediately noticing the unusual pairing of Kate and Ranvir as presenters. Fans of Good Morning Britain are well aware that the show typically features a male and female host.
One viewer enthusiastically remarked, "Good morning, all @GMB. It’s great to have Kate and Ranvir together today," while another chimed in, "It’s wonderful to see two incredible women presenting the show!" A third fan added simply, "Kate and Ranvir?" echoing sentiments shared by others who expressed delight at the all-female hosting lineup.
In a departure from the norm, Kate took on the responsibility of presenting the entire day's news, a task generally not assigned to one of the main presenters. Meanwhile, Ranvir was tasked with covering news specific to London following recent staffing changes at ITV that affected local reporters. Faye Barker, a reporter, took to Instagram earlier this week to confirm these adjustments, stating, "You might have noticed that the ITV London GMB bulletins are now being delivered by one of the main GMB presenting team, ensuring they are in capable hands. All other regions will continue to have their own local presenters, marking a new chapter indeed."
Typically, Susanna Reid hosts Good Morning Britain from Monday to Thursday alongside co-hosts Ed Balls or Richard Madeley. Fridays, however, feature a rotating cast of presenters, which includes Kate, Ranvir, Charlotte Hawkins, Rob Rinder, and Adil Ray.
During today's episode, Kate and Ranvir also interacted with various reporters stationed throughout the country as Storm Goretti wreaked havoc. Warnings for yellow snow now cover extensive areas including East Anglia, the Midlands, the North, and the South West, in addition to nearly all of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. More serious amber snow warnings have been issued for significant portions of central Wales, the Midlands, and parts of the North, with forecasts predicting snow accumulations of up to 30 centimeters.
The Met Office has cautioned that drivers in affected regions could face the risk of becoming stranded, while those traveling by rail or air should prepare for potential cancellations and delays. Neil Armstrong, chief forecaster at the Met Office, described Storm Goretti as a "multi-hazard event," bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and significant snowfall.
Later in the broadcast, Kate and Ranvir had a conversation with naturalist Chris Packham, who discussed his decision to switch his poodles, Sid and Nancy, to a plant-based diet, a lifestyle choice he has already embraced himself.
Good Morning Britain airs every weekday on ITV1 and ITVX starting at 6 AM. For the latest updates on entertainment, television, movies, and streaming, be sure to visit the newly launched Everything Gossip website.
