Kate Garraway Forced to Sell London Flat Amid £800,000 Debt Struggle

KATE Garraway has been forced to sell off her second home amid her £800,000 debts battle.

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 58, was faced with the daunting prospect of paying back the huge sum following husband Derek’s death from covid-related illness early last year.

The property in North London recently sold for £1.5m – but it was heavily mortgaged meaning what’s left over will barely touch the sides of the huge sum she still owes.

Good Morning Britain host Kate, 58, wanted the flat to be a long-term investment that she could turn to over the coming decade but had no choice but to sell it.

An insider said: “Kate takes paying off the debts very seriously and she’s always said she’d go to any lengths to achieve that.

“This is just part of that commitment, even if it does mean she’s had to lose the flat which she actually purchased years ago before meeting Derek and before they bought a family home together.
