“I think he’s incredibly brave, I’m really proud of him and I think it will be an extraordinary watch.' - Kate Garraway
Kate Garraway says Anton Du Beke is “incredibly brave” after speaking out for the first time about a childhood incident, in which he was stabbed by his father.
Speaking on The One Show ahead of the episode’s airing, Kate said Anton had “never wanted to let what happened to him define him in any way.” “He got to the point where he didn’t want to hide or deny his past, as there are other people who are going through it and who are scarred by what they’ve been through.
Although his mother encouraged his new hobby, his father, Antal, “took a turn” against Anton as alcoholism gripped him. “His family, including his wife, didn’t know about this stuff…. But I think he got to the point where he felt he shouldn’t feel any shame and it was OK to do it.”
