On X (formerly Twitter) the GMB presnter posted: "@haringeycouncil please help – have been trying for ten days sold to speak to someone about my husband passing away – following unsettling post making demands which obviously he can’t respond to,” the 56-year-old wrote.

“I just cannot get through.

“Again today nearly 50 mins wait & before I could …. the man put me straight back to the beginning – another 20 mins and then it timed out as shuts at 5pm.

“Is there a beareavement service or SOMETHING!!!!.”

Garraway did not clarify what the post was referencing or what “demands” were being made.

These demands come after the documentary saw Garraway reveal the £16,000 monthly cost of her late husband’s care was more than her salary from ITV and caused her to rack up huge debts.

She later added that she does not “regret or begrudge” the debts.
