Good Morning Britain star Kate Garraway ‘moved to tears’ over charity single as emotional Rob Rinder makes dementia admission
Kate Garraway and Rob Rinder had an emotional moment on today’s (November 28) edition of Good Morning Britain.
During the morning show, the duo interviewed Dan Archer, CEO of Visiting Angels UK, and Jay Aston, a singer.
The pair were on GMB to promote the Home Care’s Got Talent choir. The choir, made up of professional caregivers, recorded a cover of Robbie Williams’ single Angels at Abbey Road — and they’re now on a bid to make the single this year’s Christmas number one.

As Rob put it: “They’re selfless local heroes that dedicate their lives caring for those most in need, but now it’s time for a group of talented caregivers to have their moment in the spotlight.”
Kate, who was a carer for her husband Derek Draper, then added that “they’re representative of the talent in the world of care everywhere and are supported by Bucks Fizz’s Jay Aston, who has experience being a carer for [her] dad, so you know what it’s all about.”
She also admitted that the single “moved [her] to tears”. A visibly emotional Rob then went on to discuss his father, who has Lewy body dementia.
“My dad’s looked after by incredible carers, a Jewish carer, we were celebrating them only the other night,” he said, adding: “Hopefully I won’t get too emotional about this.”

Rob previously opened up about his dad’s condition in a London Standard article in 2023.
In the article, he reflected on his father’s milestone 70th birthday.
“He will know he’s reached this milestone but his joy will need constant prompting. It will be muted, like hearing a party from a locked room that he cannot enter. His disease has robbed him of the uniquely human gift of being present in delight,” he wrote.
“I don’t talk about my dad or his illness very much — not just because I want to preserve his privacy but because it’s extremely tough to get down my feelings in words that make sense.”
“Dementia is a pitiless illness,” he added. “It steals away those who suffer in a slow and excruciating way that’s hard to describe.”
