Kate Garraway opens up about thyroid condition
Kate Garraway, 57, recently shared details about a secret condition that caused her to become 'super skinny'. The broadcaster revealed that she was diagnosed with a thyroid condition after giving birth to her daughter, Darcey, 18 years ago. Speaking on Sarah Haran's YouTube channel, Kate discussed how her thyroid became overactive, leading to significant weight loss.
Challenges and Recovery
Kate mentioned that she initially enjoyed being thin but later realized the health implications. She now manages the condition by taking Thyroxine. In the same conversation, she addressed misconceptions about her feelings following her husband's passing, emphasizing that it was an honor to care for him.

Gratitude for NHS staff
