Kate Garraway is celebrating her 49th birthday this week – but Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid think she may be pulling a fast one.
As they wished her happy birthday on Good Morning Britain, Ben teased: “You say 49, but there’s some debate as to how old you are.”

Susanna added: “It didn’t help that your other employers were celebrating your 50th birthday.”
Kate also works for Smooth Radio – who mistakenly threw her a 50th birthday party on Wednesday.

The bubbly presenter bemoaned how “awful” it was to be told she looked older than her years.
She said: “Now I’m 49 and no-one believes I’m 49, they think I’m older. That is after an hour of make-up.”
But the teasing didn’t stop as Ben joked about her hearing going.

Susanna, 45, said: “70 is just a whisper away for me. What does it matter what age we are?”
“Every year I agree more,” said poor Kate.
Kate was showered with birthday wishes, including a touching message from Susanna on Twitter:
