Kate Garraway’s home has been partially flooded after torrential rain affected parts of London earlier this week.
Ms Garraway, 54, said the disruption had been a “total nightmare and nuisance” as the lower areas of her home were left underwater while her husband Derek Draper continues to recover from his lengthy battle with coronavirus.
Discussing the weather alongside Charlotte Hawkins and weatherman Alex Beresford on Good Morning Britain, she said: “My weather week has been…I have lived the weather of the week, Alex.”
“Severe flooding in the storms on Monday night so woke up on Tuesday morning to find…we live on a hill - so you come in the door at one level and you go down the steps to the back garden - everything underneath completely flooded.”
The presenter said close family members have been helping her through the crisis, including Mr Draper’s father.
“Thanks to Grandad, Derek’s dad, and Auntie Di, we have managed to clear it all out,” she said.
Other celebrities affected by the adverse weather conditions include Simon Cowell and Queen guitarist Brian May, who also had parts of their London homes damaged by the weather.
Mr Cowell, who lives in Holland Park, was seen close to his home on Tuesday and the X Factor judge half-joked that his house “nearly floated away” when asked whether he had avoided being hit by the floods, according to the Daily Mirror.
Meanwhile, Mr May took to Instagram to mourn the memorabilia and personal items that had been destroyed in his basement due to the flooding and sewage.
He said in a video: "The whole bottom floor had been inundated with a sewage overflow - which has covered our carpets, rugs and all kinds of precious (to us) things in a stinking sludge."
"I don’t know where to start really. This is still floor with water. Stuff strewn everywhere, disgusting.”
Flash floods and torrential rainfall hit parts of the capital on Monday night which caused travel chaos as a number of train lines and Tube stations were forced to close.
The capital’s roads were also awash after nearly three inches of rain fell in just 90 minutes.
More than 4cm (1.57in) of rain fell overnight. The record is 4.11cm, falling in 10 minutes in Lausanne during a storm in August 2018, broadcaster SRF said.
