As she made her first appearance back on the panel, Kate was incredibly apologetic about missing the previous show, which saw Ranvir Singh step in for her at the last minute.
She told co-host Ben Shephard: ‘I’m sorry about yesterday! It wasn’t that I couldn’t be bothered to get up… I famously have six alarm clocks at home.
‘What happened is, [my son] Billy wasn’t well so I put him to bed. I fell asleep fully dressed with my boots on still, still had my makeup on.
‘I woke up at 5:40. I’m so sorry because I was so excited about coming back!’

Kate, who finished fourth in the Australian jungle, was seen wearing last night’s clothes and had yesterday’s make-up smeared over her face.
Ben first broke the news to viewers live on air by telling Ranvir it was a ‘surprise’ to see her next to him.
Ranvir chuckled: ‘It’s a bit of a surprise for me too. 3.26am, I got a text message this morning, just shortly after my alarm went off because I’m usually outside in the dark and the rain.
‘”Hi love (this is from our lovely editor) we’ve got a problem – we can’t raise Kate Garraway. If need be could you step in to do the show with Ben! We’ll keep you posted.”
