The Good Morning Britain star was embroiled in an awkward exchange during Thursday's episode

Kate Garraway has broken her silence on her clash with David Olusoga during Thursday's Celebrity Traitors.

The Good Morning Britain star became the latest to leave the popular show in the penultimate episode of the series after being banished by her co-stars.


During her last Roundtable on the BBC show, Ms Garraway came to blows with Mr Olusoga.

She noted there had been no heat or attention given to the filmmaker since one Roundtable in which he was almost banished.

Mr Olusoga agreed it had been strange, at which point Ms Garraway forcefully cut in: "I'm just going to finish."

Pointing out that she had since voted for him to be banished, she added: "I was just the only one that was brave enough to raise it."

She continued sternly: "It feels like there's an implication behind when you state a fact.

"Sometimes, David, I feel like you're then implying something, and it's only you, and then you allow everybody to then look back at me and think, 'Why did she do that?'"

Mr Olusoga responded candidly: "Well, that's exactly what I'm doing. That's what we are supposed to be doing.

"We're stating a fact because that's how you have conversations. That's exactly what I'm doing."

Later, the presenter was banished and had to leave the show.

Opening up on her experience on Friday's Good Morning Britain, Ms Garraway told her ITV co-stars she didn't take anything personally.

When asked about the tense Roundtable and what the atmosphere had really been like, Ms Garraway reflected: "I didn’t take it personally as I’ve lived genuine life and death.

"At the end of the day, this is a game and you know you’re not really going to be murdered and you might not make it into breakfast, but life will go on, so I didn’t take any of it personally."

She continued: "It’s an incredible game you're completely sucked into, no phones, no contact, you know, with the outside world, so you’re absolutely in this intensity.

“I think it’s very easy to take it personally because you feel really close, really quickly to people in that environment. I was utterly bereft when Paloma [Faith] departed earlier because I loved her."

Admitting she hadn't understood why she came under suspicion so often, she added: "I was absolutely flabbergasted that they were suspicious of me.

"I must be the least suspicious person in the world. When you're in there it's such a different experience from watching it, because as a viewer you know everything.

"So I've been as flabbergasted as anyone else, you don’t see what people are saying about you, so it’s been brilliant."
