Since joining Good Morning Britain, Garraway’s appearances on Lorraine have become less frequent.Garraway once again became interim main presenter on ITV Breakfast when Ben Shepherd cut his appearances each week to just two; which meant Garraway hosted four times a week until Piers Morgan joined the show later that year.From March 2014 until November 2016, Garraway occasionally presented The National Lottery Draws on BBC One.
