Sofa-hopeful Kate Garraway's 30-minute makeover

Millions of viewers know presenter Kate Garraway as the glamorous face of early morning TV.

But the star, who is currently vying to take over from Fiona Phillips on the famous GMTV sofa, looked a far cry from her usual picture of perfection when she popped into her local salon.

The 41-year-old presenter gets to work on her make-up

The 41-year-old showed the strain of her early mornings as she arrived at the north London salon sporting heavy bags under her eyes.

While her hairdresser got to work on her tresses, Ms Garraway busied herself with her make-up. But one area given unwanted attention was her fingernails - the presenter constantly bit them as she underwent her treatment.

The mother-of-one is waiting in the wings at GMTV to see if she gets the prized job of anchor, currently held by Fiona Phillips who recently announced her departure from the morning show.

Ms Garraway has been at GMTV for eight years and is widely expected to be given Phillips's job.

The two entered into a war of words after Ms Phillips gave an interview in which she accused Ms Garraway of courting celebrity and turning up to the opening of an envelope.

Pretty woman: Kate leaves her home looking normal but she looked a nail-biting mess during the salon visit

Ms Phillips later moved to quell the brewing storm by saying: 'People pick on ladies and say they don't get on and it's just not true. I know what you are referring to but it is a pack of untruths.

'In fact Kate and I phone each other up the weekend it was in and laughed about it.'

Perfection: Kate with make up

People should celebrate women with children still working and doing things. All they want to say is catfights in the corridors.'
