Good Morning Britain legend Kate Garraway has shared her support to John Stapleton and his son Nick, following the presenter's devastating Parkinson's diagnosis
Kate Garraway has taken to social media to support a former colleague following his moving announcement. The noted presenter offered her sympathies after watching a poignant BBC Morning Live piece on Monday, where it was disclosed that veteran broadcaster John Stapleton is battling Parkinson's disease.
Having received his diagnosis only two months ago, it was Nick who first noticed unsettling signs of the ailment. Parkinson's takes place when parts of the brain become 'progressively damaged over many years', according to the NHS. While the diagnosis has been upsetting for both John and his family, Nick also explained that it wasn't exactly a surprise. John's mother, being Nick's grandmother, also suffered from Parkinson's in the years before her death.
