              •  "Being pregnant is a drag ... Kate caves in. GMTV host Kate Garraway puffs a secret ciggie in her car while 8½ months pregnant with her first child. The desperate presenter's nicotine cravings got the better of her just days before she is due to give birth. Kate, wed to ex-Labour spin doctor Derek Draper, slipped round the corner from her North London home for the crafty drag. Ignoring medical warnings on fags, she sat smoking in her VW Beetle, rolling down a window to let out smoke. Last night 38-year-old Kate, who began maternity leave last week, issued an emotional apology. She said: 'I'm so cross with myself as I've done so well throughout my pregnancy. I can't believe I cracked now. I feel I've let myself and everyone down. I'm so sorry. Nobody could be more angry with me than myself.' Kate's agent Jon Roseman said: 'I can promise Kate doesn't smoke every day. She is under a lot of stress. Not only has she worked till the last minute, but her house is being renovated and there have been problems with the nursery. However, Kate admits she's been a complete plonker.' Before falling pregnant, Kate was a regular smoker who puffed up to 15 cigarettes a day. Another source claimed she had taken 'one or two' fag breaks at the GMTV studios while pregnant", w/two candid pics, The Sun (UK), Feb. 24, '06
              •  "Kate Puffaway. Breakfast television star Kate Garraway has been seen puffing away on a cigarette while eight and a half months pregnant. The 37-year-old GMTV presenter was pictured smoking behind the wheel of her parked car days after starting her maternity leave. ...And yesterday Miss Garraway was warned she may be putting the health of her unborn baby at risk. 'Kate has developed a very regimented routine since beginning her maternity leave,' said a local resident. 'Every morning at about 10am she drives to a quiet local street near her home in North London before parking up for a cheeky, covert cigarette. Afterwards, she goes to the local grocery store and then proceeds with the rest of her day. By smoking in her car like this, it is clear that she doesn't want to be seen doing it. And it's little surprise - her tummy is so big now that there is no hiding her pregnancy.' Miss Garraway, who married her 36-year-old second husband, Derek Draper, in September, angered health organisations with her decision to smoke when pregnant", Daily Mail (UK), Feb. 25, '06
              •  "Pregnant 'GMTV' host apologises for smoking. Pregnant Kate Garraway has apologised after being spotted smoking in secret. The GMTV host apparently had three or four cigarettes in quick succession while sitting in her car. 'I feel so mortified by all of this. I'm just so cross with myself. I feel like a complete idiot,' Garraway told The Mirror. 'I can't believe that I've got through my pregnancy and then I've cracked at the last stage. I feel like I've let myself and everyone down but no one can be more angry at me than myself. I don't want to make excuses for myself because there are no excuses.' Kate is expected to give birth to her first child within the next few days", Digital Spy, Feb. 25, '06
              •  "Kate Garraway has apologised following the publication of photographs showing the eight-month-pregnant television presenter smoking a cigarette. The GMTV star, pictured holding the cigarette while in her car, has drawn criticism from health organisations warning about the effects of smoking while pregnant. Garraway, 37, apologised last night and said that she regretted her actions. She said: 'I am so cross with myself. I had done so well throughout my whole pregnancy and I can't believe I cracked at this late stage. I let myself and everyone down and I am so sorry. Nobody can be more angry with me than I am with myself.' Her agent Jon Roseman said: 'Yes, she has had a couple of cigarettes. She feels like a right plonker and truly regrets lighting up'", Sunday Herald (UK), Feb. 26, '06
              •  "GMTV Presenter Kate Garraway has apologised after pictures of her smoking whilst eight-months pregnant were published. Garraway, 37, was pictured puffing away in her car and has been blasted for smoking while pregnant by health organisations. Speaking to the Daily Mail Garraway said: 'I am so cross with myself. I had done so well throughout my whole pregnancy and I can't believe I cracked at this late stage. I let myself and everyone down and I am so sorry. Nobody can be more angry with me than I am with myself'", Entertainmentwise, Feb. 27, '06

              •  "was pictured in her car on the front cover of the Daily Mirror recently, in one of those grainy paparazzi shots they use when capturing paedophiles near a children's playground, under the headline '9 months pregnant and she's smoking. Full shocking story: page 7.' Page 7 carried a 'mortified' confession from the villain herself, and a think piece from Miriam Stoppard ('I can hardly believe this picture. I am so shocked...'). I'm sure poor Kate Garraway is aware that smoking isn't great for an unborn child. Mothers who are also smokers, in my experience, try incredibly hard to quit during pregnancy, fall off the wagon once in a while, and feel terrible about it. Kate Garraway was no doubt smoking in the car because she's ashamed to do it at home in front of her husband, or at work in front of critical colleagues. Her moment of weakness, in what she thought was her own private space, strikes me as a lot less terrible than the act of bullying and humiliating a woman who is nine months pregnant on the front page of a national newspaper", The Observer (UK), Mar. 5, '06

It's hard to imagine Garraway smoking a cigarette. But she's full of surprises", The Times (UK), Mar. 24, '07
