Kate Garraway's Life Stories will see the Good Morning Britain presenter sitting down with another set of celebs for her second series of the long-running interview show.

Kate Garraway took over presenting duties from the previous host, Piers Morgan, back in 2021, after the presenter left ITV. Her first series saw her speaking to former England footballer, John Barnes, Great British Bake Off star Nadiya Hussain, and Welsh singer-songwriter Charlotte Church.

When Kate Garraway was confirmed as Piers Morgan's replacement, she 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."

There's no doubt that she must be looking forward to sitting down with her next set of guests who will be exploring their personal pasts across the new series. Here's what we know about Kate Garraway's Life Stories right now.
