Kate Garraway has said she is undergoing a life-changing diagnosis after starring in The Celebrity Traitors . The Good Morning Britain host, 58, was a Faithful on the show - and said she had the revelation while chatting with Traitor Cat Burns. She realised she may have ADHD. Singer Cat, 25, is autistic and has ADHD, and Kate said that talking to her about her music and life, she could see some similarities. Kate said: "Actually, I'm in the process of an ADHD diagnosis myself. In fact, I think it's pretty clear I am. So it's fascinating to see how it manifested for her." ADHD - attention deficit hyperactivity disorder - is a condition where the brain works differently to most people. Symptoms involve your ability to pay attention to things (being inattentive), having high energy levels (being hyperactive) and your ability to control your impulses (being impulsive), as explained by the NHS . On the show, Cat said "it takes a lot more effort" when she is around people, and sometimes it means she needs some time away. Speaking to The Sun on Sunday , Kate said her late husband, Derek Draper , would have "absolutely loved" to see her on The Celebrity Traitors. She reflected: "He would have watched, going, 'How could you not see this?'" Meanwhile, Kate revealed which of the show's stars refused to join the WhatsApp group. The journalist is one of several who signed up to the first ever celebrity edition of the hit BBC game show, and while she's still in touch with the likes of Tom Daley, Charlotte Church, and Alan Carr, one famous face from the programme doesn't appear to want to chat. The journalist explained that the chat is currently "popping off" as the celebrities react to themselves on screen and learn of various fates after their own time on their programme. However, Kate said host Claudia Winkleman hasn't joined the group chat. She explained that the Strictly Come Dancing host was insistent that the contestants needed a place that was "just for them" now that filming is done and they are getting to see the things they didn't see whilst the series was in production as all the action plays out on screen. Kate also opened up on the more darker themes of the series as she found it a "bit weird " after her husband Derek's death. She recounted how she declined to carry a coffin, as it reminded her of her husband's tragic death. In January 2024, Derek died at age 56 after suffering health complications from Covid-19. Kate said the scene in episode two saw her walk alongside co-star Alan Carr at the time, while Celia Imrie was in front, when she "gasped" as she walked "by the coffins".
