Kate Garraway made a special video praising her Good Morning Britain co-star and Strictly Come Dancing contestant, Ranvir Singh, which aired during the show’s live semi-final on Saturday.
The TV presenter, 53, has been focused on her family amid her husband Derek Draper’s battle with coronavirus, but she took a moment out of her day to show her support for her friend, 43.
Ranvir was noticeably moved while watching the heartfelt clip, which was shown after she completed the Waltz with professional dance partner, Giovanni Pernice.

Kate said: ‘Ranvir, the semi finals? This is unbelievable, I mean it’s not though, is it, because you are unbelievable.
‘It’s just so fantastic watching you, you are amazing, we all know you are amazing and now the world knows it too.
‘It’s just brilliant, good luck, hope you get to the final but whatever happens you are the absolute winner of this series.’
Overcome with emotion, Ranvir responded: ‘We all know what she is going through, she typifies what everyone is going through this year.

‘Actually it’s so wonderful that she found the time to think of me. That is her all over, so thank you so much to Kate, that meant so much.’
Kate’s husband, 53, has been in hospital since March after contracting COVID and while there have been small improvements to his health, Kate has said he has a long road ahead.
As well as looking after children Darcey, 14, and Billy, 11, Kate has been busy with her Good Morning Britain and Smooth FM radio commitments.
The family had been unable to visit Derek in hospital due to coronavirus restrictions, but Kate has said nurses kindly allowed her to FaceTime him.

Meanwhile Ranvir is single, but she has been at the centre of romance rumours with her dance partner, 30, with head judge Shirley Ballas commenting on their ‘chemistry’.
The duo did little to stop the speculation on last Saturday’s show as Giovanni was heard calling her ‘baby’ during their Viennese Waltz.
On Friday, the professional dancer added more fuel to the romance fire as he confirmed Ranvir is using a picture of them together on her WhatsApp.
He made the revelation as he shared a screenshot to Twitter on Friday of a late-night text he received from the GMB presenter.
