Good Morning Britain star Kate Garraway was all smiles at the weekend as she celebrated her son Bill’s 14th birthday. To make the day extra special, the 56-year-old TV presenter treated Bill to a fun-filled afternoon at Alton Towers theme park located in Staffordshire.
An Unforgettable Experience
Over on her Instagram grid, Kate shared a glimpse inside their trip which she dubbed “the best day ever.” She opted to post a gorgeous picture of herself tucking into a hearty plate of food – and wow did she look stunning in her chic cream polo neck.
Alongside the snapshot, she gushed: “Thank you so much to Alton Towers the best day ever – celebrating Bill’s 14th birthday – hearing them buzzing & screaming with delight was like winning the lottery – despite not being able to believe my ‘baby’ is 14!”
Kate admitted that she was the “chief bag holder” while her son enjoyed the exhilarating rides. She confessed to being an “utter scaredy-cat” when it comes to rides but appreciated Alton Towers’ unique restaurant experience where food is served by whizzing it to the table on a rollercoaster. This, she said, was a ride she could get behind.
Fans and friends flooded the comments section with heartfelt compliments. Many expressed their happiness for Kate, commenting on how happy and gorgeous she looked. Some related to her role as the “bag holder” and shared their own experiences. The overwhelming response reflected the warmth and admiration people have for Kate and her family.
A Challenging Year

He has been battling with the debilitating side effects ever since and spent 13 months in the hospital before returning to his family home.
