Charlotte Church, Nadiya Hussain and John Barnes will be Kate Garraway's first guests on 'Life Stories'.
Kate Garraway's first Life Stories guests have been revealed
The 'Good Morning Britain' presenter has taken over from her former co-host Piers Morgan on the ITV interview series, and she will begin her run with three 60-minute episodes in which she will delve into the lives and minds of Welsh singer Charlotte, former 'Great British Bake Off' winner Nadiya, and retired footballer John.
Kate said: "I’ve always loved having the chance to talk to people, both on air and off.
"Everyone has a story to tell and the wonderful thing about this show is that you have the airtime to delve into the areas of guests lives that the viewers might not know about already.
"It’s also a chance to understand more about the bits we do already know about, both good and bad, and hear it in their own words."
Prior to taking over from Piers, Kate was interviewed by him in his last-ever 'Life Stories', after he quit to join News Corp's new channel talkTV.
Kate previously told how Piers "delved all over the place" into her background when interviewing her on the show.
She said: “He delved all over the place, he delved into my past, exes, career stuff. He has a massive, massive research team.”
During the chat, Kate opened up about the struggle her family has faced amid her husband Derek Draper's long battle with COVID and the after-effects, for which he still receives 24/7 care at home.
Speaking on the show in early December, she said: "It’s devastated him.
"From the top of his head to the tip of his toe. His digestive system, his liver, his kidneys, his heart, his nervous system. We’re pretty sure that the inflammation did pass through the brain.
"He still can’t communicate, he still has issues with mobility. Fundamentally, he’s in a terrible state. Look, he’s alive, Piers."
