TV star Kate Garraway faced being late to work after getting caught up in a bus incident. The popular Good Morning Britain presenter was heading across London to her ‘other’ job presenting on Smooth Radio this morning when she was caught up in what she described as a problem being caused too much optimism.
To get through traffic Garraway, 56, was being taken on the back of a motorcycle to the studios - when she came across a road totally blocked. She posted up a video on her instagram, and it showed a large coach trying to turn around in what she described as ‘one of the narrowest roads in London’.
While she was recording the message she said the coach had just crashed into a lamp post as it tried to turn around. She said: “So I am not known for my driving prowess, but even I was not as optimistic as this driver of a coach. Oh he’s just hit the lamppost.
“And he’s trying to turn a huge coach around in one of the narrowest roads in London. God bless his spirit! He’s going to make me late for Smooth but never mind I’ll see you when I return.”
Fans were worried if she would make it. Margaret Fowler said: “Hope that didn’t delay you too much. Looked a bit of a tight squeeze!”
Adriwn Slowey added: “I really cannot believe that. Most would at least try to reverse into a side street.” Graham Shoebridge said: “Poor coach driver I do empathise. Many are fellow bikers too and he certainly didn’t do things by halves this morning!”
