Kate Garraway celebrates daughter Darcey's 16th birthday after 'tough week'

Kate Garraway has celebrated her daughter's 16th birthday after going through a 'tough week'.

The mum helped daughter Darcey mark her milestone birthday with a night out to watch Dirty Dancing at London's Dominion Theatre last night.

She shared a selfie of them both, showing Darcey wearing a sparkling tiara like a real birthday princess, with her 1.1 million followers on Instagram.

Kate wrote: "Well what a way to celebrate your 16th birthday Eve!! @ddonstage is THE best fun & we are both in love with Johnny. And yes Darcey has already told me no one puts her in a corner!

"Just what the doctor ordered after a tough week. The season ends at Easter so if you get the chance to go do it! #dirtydancing #dirtydancinglondon"

Kate did not divulge further on what has made for such a difficult week, but there have been unconfirmed reports husband Derek Draper's business has suffered over the past two years during his poor health, and will close in a matter of days.

The blow comes after Kate shared concerns for what she would do when money 'runs out' in her latest documentary, Caring For Derek, where she revealed that he needs round the clock care and could die in days without it.

The Good Morning Britain star has been caring for her partner after he tested positive for coronavirus in March 2020 and was left suffering from long term health effects ever since.

The presenter's children, Billy, 12, and Darcey have been her biggest support during their dad Derek's health battle.

During an appearance on Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Kate praised both of her children as she said: "Those two are incredible. And they are incredible with their dad."
