Ben Shephard spoke out about Kate Garraway's absence on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, after she pulled out of the show to be by her husband Derek Draper's hospital bedside.
Former political lobbyist Derek, 54, is "seriously unwell" in hospital as he battles the long-lasting effects from his 2020 battle with coronavirus.
Derek was left with clots in his lungs, holes in his heart, suffering from multiple organ failure and became diabetic after he contracted Covid in March 2020.
