Kate Garraway nearly slips up over size of Victoria Beckham’s jeans days Cheryl gaffe

Kate Garraway nearly made another on-air slip-up after commenting on the size of Victoria Beckham’s jeans.

The Good Morning Britain presenter, who was criticised for ‘mocking’ Cheryl’s weight last week, told co-host Helen Skelton that she thought a pair of jeans belonging to the designer looked ‘too large’.

During a segment on charity campaign Jeans For Refugees, in which stars donate their own trousers for charity, co-host Helen Skelton held up a pair belonging to Beckham.

“Wow, my goodness, they were worn my Victoria Beckham?” Garroway asked as Skelton showed her the jeans.

“Yeah, they look a bit large if I’m honest,”Skelton replied.

“They do. I didn’t want to say that. I don’t want to get into trouble, but they do look quite big,” said Garraway.

She quickly added: “Obviously Victoria Beckham is incredibly slim and I’m not suggesting otherwise.”

Garraway was forced to apologise last week over comments about Cheryl’s fluctuating weight and her weight loss last year due to the stress in her marriage.

“She was super thin, wasn’t she?” Garraway asked when an old picture of Cheryl flashed up on the screen.

“She was indeed. That caused a lot of concern,” said Richard Arnold. “It's unlikely we'll hear any more details of the divorce however because they've signed a confidentiality agreement.”=

Looking at a recent picture of Cheryl, Garraway then joked: “She’s really ballooned. That’s what counts as putting on weight in Cheryl’s world.”

Fans were quick to criticise Garraway, with one person writing on Twitter: “I think Kate is so disrespectful towards @CherylOfficial the way she body shamed her how would she feel if it was her !!!!!!!”

A rep for Garroway responded to say: “Kate is mortified that anyone would think that she was mocking Cheryl or her weight problems.”
