Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway shared a health update live on-air this morning to explain to viewers why she was "looking a bit emotional".
During today's instalment of the ITV breakfast show, the presenter clarified that her eyes were red due to an infection, though she did joke that it was also "partly" due to England's men's football team securing their spot in the Euro 2024 final this weekend.
"We know not everybody is a footy fan… by the way, if I'm looking a bit emotional this morning, it's partly the football, it's also that I've got a rabid eye infection," she said.
"So I'm wearing my rose-tinted spectacles, so I can see everybody!"

"I thought you were getting emotional about the game," Garraway's co-host Adil Ray joked, to which she quipped: "There's an element of that too!

"When I look through these spectacles I see a win! They're rose-tinted and I see a win and I'm manifesting it. I think we should all just embrace something to be joyous about."
Last month, Garraway paid an emotional tribute to her late husband Derek Draper, as she and her two children spent their first Father's Day without him.

"We started by visiting Derek's grave early – and talked about all the amazing things we loved about him, the daft things he did to make us laugh and all the things he has given us that we'll never forget," she wrote on social media.
"I know for so many, yesterday would have been a tough day so here's to getting through and let's celebrate all the wonderful fathers & father figures & what they gift us every day."
Garraway has also recently opened up about the debts she now faces for her husband's round-the-clock care, estimating the cost to be up to £800,000 as he did not qualify for funded care.
She explored the challenges that those living with serious illness and disability face in the documentary Kate Garraway: Derek's Story, in addition to the impact on their loved ones.
