Garraway 'threatens to quit' over pay cut

Kate Garraway has reportedly threatened to quit her GMTV job if her wages are cut.

The presenter, who is pregnant with her second child, is due to have her contract renewed next month.

According to The Mirror, she is outraged over suggestions to cut her £280,000 salary by around £70,000.

A source close to Garraway is quoted as saying: "The deal was a shocker. Kate’s agent is prepared to pull her from GMTV if they continue along these lines as the station is still hugely profitable and they’re just using the credit crunch as an excuse."

However, a show insider insisted that cuts must be made, saying: "GMTV is saving money all over the place – in this climate presenters will be nuts not to accept what they are offered. These figures are happening across the industry."

Earlier this year, 42-year-old Garraway was forced to deny claims that she was involved in a feud with her GMTV colleague Emma Crosby.
