She said last week that her children were not looking forward to going back to school on Monday when pupils returned to the classroom.
But Kate Garraway appeared to be quite thrilled with the return as she had a big smile on her face when she made her way to the Global Radio Studios in London.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 53, flashed a grin and a wave as she sported a calf-length brown padded jacket to head to her Smooth radio show .

Smiling: The Good Morning Britain presenter, 53, continued to put a brave face on things despite her husband Derek Draper’s continued health woes
She was seen arriving at the studio on a motorbike and sporting a helmet and black jacket, before she walked into the building for her morning show.
Kate gave a cheery wave as she showed off her slender legs in a short black dress with a large bow detail at the neck.
The mother Darcey, 14, and William, 11, added height to her petite frame with a pair of khaki ankle boots and added a pair of tights to her ensemble.
She beamed as she pulled a small suitcase behind her and draped a blue lanyard round her neck.

Kate’s husband Derek Draper, 53, remains in intensive care nearly a year after he was first admitted to hospital with coronavirus.
She said on Friday her two children were not looking forward to going back to school after months of homeschooling.
Ben said: ‘It is the last day, Kate Garraway, of homeschooling.’
She responded: ‘There’s a lot of people very excited about that – apart from my kids! [Darcey, 14 and William, 11], who are basically not being schooled by me!

‘So therefore, are facing up to the reality of having to get their heads around some education!’
Ben added: ‘There is definitely a benefit of having schooled your children to make them realise how brilliant their teachers are, and desperately want them to get back to school.’
Kate then said: ‘Actually to be honest, they are very excited about seeing friends at school and getting back into the swing of it. But probably not as excited as mums and dads out there!”‘
Last week, Kate also revealed on Good Morning Britain that she has been targeted by cruel scammers, who are sending her messages pretending to be from the NHS.

She questioned Dr Amir Khan on if it was really the NHS sending messages warning people about Covid variants discovered in their area.
‘I have and I just wanted to check with you if this is likely to be real or not, I’ve noticed increasingly more on local WhatsApp groups and indeed on the Internet generally.’
Kate continued: ‘I am getting messages that look like they’re from the NHS, saying things like: “The South African variant has been discovered in your area, take extra care”.
‘Is it likely that the NHS is doing that? It looks like it is, but there’s also something about it that doesn’t look official as well.

‘Have you noticed this happening? Can you confirm if this is real or not? Or is it part of the spamming that’s going on?’.
Dr Amir replied: ‘I’ll be honest with you, Kate. I haven’t heard about this and I work closely with the NHS and in public health campaigns.
‘I’ve not been made aware of such a messaging services so I would stay be mindful of unsolicited messages like that.’
While Derek no longer has coronavirus, the disease has left him suffering from multiple health conditions including diabetes and holes in his heart and lungs.
Derek has regained minimal consciousness from his medically induced coma.
In September, he passed the grim milestone of becoming the longest patient battling coronavirus in hospital in the UK, with doctors telling Kate that Derek’s infection was the ‘highest they had seen in a patient who had lived’.
