Kate Garraway has recently shifted her wedding and engagement rings to her right hand, sparking speculation about a new romance with Liam Halligan. The Good Morning Britain host made the switch during a challenge on Celebrity Traitors last year as a tribute to her late husband, Derek Draper.

Derek tragically passed away in January 2024 following a fatal cardiac arrest. He had battled severe organ damage after contracting Covid in March 2020. Kate and Derek shared two children, Darcey (20) and Billie (16).

A spokesperson revealed that Kate now wears her rings on her right hand daily in memory of Derek. Reports suggest that Kate and Liam, who have been friends for over 20 years, have been on several dates and have grown close. Liam, a former economics and business editor at GB News, is divorced from journalist Lucy Ward and has a son and two daughters.

In a statement to The Sun, Liam shared his enjoyment of Kate’s company and the early stages of their relationship. Friends of Kate are delighted by the news of her budding romance and are supportive of her moving forward. Kate had previously expressed her openness to finding love again, emphasizing the importance of companionship and enjoying life.

Sources close to Kate and Liam describe their connection as special, highlighting their shared interests and lively conversations. While Kate still mourns Derek’s loss deeply, she is said to have found happiness with Liam, with optimism for their future together.
