Kate Garraway calls herself by first husband’s name after revealing emotional Derek story
Kate Garraway was left red faced during this morning’s Lorraine as she accidentally called herself by her first husband’s name live on air
Kate Garraway suffered an on air blunder as she stepped in for Lorraine on Tuesday morning. During a segment on the show, the Good Morning Britain star was discussing women not taking their husband’s last name.
During the chat, Kate revealed how her late husband Derek Draper cried when she said she would take his last name. However, in an awkward blunder, Kate was heard referring to herself as Kate Rumsey before realising and apologising. .
Describing the moment, Kate revealed how she was asked while doing her wedding list with Derek if she should be put down as “Garraway or Rumsey?”
“Definitely Kate Rumsey,” Kate continued while recalling the story, before announcing Derek burst into tears. However, she then revealed she never actually did change her name after confusion on a flight.

Halfway through telling her story, Kate realised her error as she exclaimed: “Rumsey?! My god, that’s my first husband, I’m in chaos this morning!” She then corrected herself with “Draper,” before apologising again at the end of the segment.
Kate was married to Ian Rumsey for four years between 1998 to 2002. The pair met when she worked at Meridian TV with Ian being her boss. However, the couple’s relationship came to an end. It was claimed that Kate kicked Ian out after an affair, although he has always denied the allegations.
Addressing their split at the time, Kate said: “It’s always terribly sad when a marriage comes to an end. I’m disappointed that what’s a very private matter has been brought into the public domain. I was dismayed by reports in the papers because they are substantially inaccurate.” It wasn’t the last the couple saw of each other however, as Ian became the boss of GMB in 2010.

Two years after splitting up with Ian, Kate met Derek through a mutual friend. They tied the knot one year later, and welcomed two children, daughter Darcey and son Billy. Unfortunately in March 2020, Derek was put into a medically induced coma and ventilator after contracting coronavirus.
At the start of 2024, the TV host sadly revealed her husband had died in December 2023 following a major heart attack.
It’s not the first blunder Kate suffered on Tuesday morning’s show. She was left red faced during the Good Morning Britain two-way as she had spilt her cup of tea all over the table. As she was due to talk about what was coming up on the show, the star apologised to Lorraine for “ruining her studio” as she was seen cleaning up the tea.
