GOOD Morning Britain viewers were full of praise for Kate Garraway this morning as she slammed Gavin Williamson’ knighthood.

The unimpressed 54-year-old questioned Dominic Raab about the news – and suggested that the way to get the honour was by being fired.


Those watching at home loved the comment and took to Twitter to discuss it, with one person writing: “‘Or fired in fact’ 😂😂 brilliant @kategarraway  #GMB.”

A second added: “Fired! Nice one @kategarraway #GMB.”

While a third tweeted: “Go Kate!! 😂😂😂🙌🏽 or fired in his case 🤣 #GMB.”

Ben Shepherd started by asking Dominic if Gavin deserved the honour.

Kate interjected: “Or fired in fact.”

Dominic responded: “You use your words and I’ll choose mine.”
