“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.

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.
