'He's supported me' Kate Garraway defends Piers quitting GMB after helping husband Derek

“And he’s left, he’s decided to quit and has he put it himself, ‘fallen on his sword of free speech’,” Kate continued.

“But as you rightly say, I’ve known him a long time before this programme, our friendship will go on, our personal friendship.

“And he’s been very supportive of me personally,” she continued, explaining how he helped her through her heartbreak over Derek.

“But yeah, it’s a different show but the show goes on,” the presenter added but she wasn’t the only one to praise the former host.
