Kate Garraway made a long-awaited return to Good Morning Britain on Friday to discuss her husband Derek Draper's coronavirus battle, and her daughter Darcey gave her some pampering before her TV appearance to ensure she was looking her best.
Ben Shephard revealed that the 14-year-old told her mum she couldn't appear on television with her hair in its current condition after going months without a cut due to the lockdown, so she took matters into her own hands and gave it a trim.

"We got a little glimpse at the trim Darcey's given Kate," Ben said as the clip played on GMB on Friday. "It's looking pretty good I think," Ranvir Singh added. "When I saw this last night I wondered, 'How's Kate managed to keep her hair under control?' and now I know." The newsreader joked: "Darcey's is looking a bit big though to be fair." Her comment prompted Ben to add: "And rightly so, she won't let Kate anywhere near it."
Kate's husband Derek Draper has been in hospital since the end of March
Kate has been keeping fans and well-wishers updated on a weekly basis after her husband Derek contracted coronavirus in March. He has spent the past ten weeks in hospital, but Kate and her family are keeping hope that he will make a full recovery.
"I'm just so grateful that he's still here," Kate said as she appeared on the show on Friday morning. "But he's very, very sick." She revealed that he is now free from COVID-19, but the virus has made him seriously ill.
