Kate Garraway

[fourstardan]

Did her husband actually do anything famous enough to warrant so much coverage of his battle with illness?

Seems like every turn up/down she is in the press notifying us all which is getting a bit OTT to me.

Or am I the only one here?

[Dingu]

Could be your choice of media? Wasn’t even aware he was ill.

[Kuwahara]

Keeps the covid narrative going that’s all that matters now and forever…

[Nethybridge]

Merely a case of famous celebrity having something going on in her personal life
that makes her appear like an amalgum of a normal person and Joan of Arc.

TV execs love it, same as Katie Price and her son Harvey

[Jasandjules]

I know who she is but no idea who her husband is or what is wrong with him. Nor do I want to know, none of my business.

[fourstardan]

It's been thrown up on the BBC for me.

Right side says It's sad about the situation but left side says I'd be happy to help out if she's a little you know lacking in certain activities :

We saw her in Italy on some beach a few years ago, massive cans

Crikey.

Your husbands dying, but worry not love you've got massive tits and a PHer will step in to shag you.


She's relatively famous, made a well received program about her husbands struggles with severe post covid complications, and it's now in the news when he becomes seriously ill.

Probably not, but he was pretty infamous as a political advisor to the Labour party.

Yes, he was. It may be a few years too many back in time - nearly 15 years - to be remembered easily, he was certainly infamous at the time.

I hope he recovers from his recent major heart attack, party politics is nothing while family (Kate/Derek) and health are everything.

To find it on the BBC front page you have to go down to "most read articles". Like when someone else on PH had a dig at the BBC for telling us about something a few days ago.

I saw her about 10 years ago by Essex Road Station. She was in jeans just going about her normal business. Absolutely beautiful.

I'm with you. I basically don't care. In that I have a limited amount of bandwidth per day. And I'm not filling it with stuff that's of no consequence to me, my life or those I care about. Lots of people get ill. 1500 people die every day in the UK. And some of them will be good people.

The problem is that the media/news industry is incestuous and self absorbed. So what matters a lot to them is irrelevant to most of us, but they have the power to bring their lives to us via 24/7 streaming news. And so long as the public don't turn off in any great numbers they will continue to pump out their dirge. Whilst actual important things are ignored.

About half way though 2020 I made a conscious decision not to watch the news for more than 3 mins a day. Some days I don't watch at all. I definitely feel happier in general avoiding the misery porn they feel the need to broadcast

while i do feel for both of them, it does smell abit of a z list celeb milking any situation, as does katie price.
but i may be wrong, and hope i am

I don't watch anything with Kate Garraway in it but I'd strongly argue that neither her nor Katie Price are Z-list. They are both very well known people.

Whilst the family hold their bedside vigil Ms Garraway has asked for publicity at this time

You do though.
But it doesnt fit your covid CT nonsense.

very true, but both have become so because they have pushed the media attention, more than what they have ever done in public if you know what i mean.
