'Exhausted and fretful' Kate Garraway gives latest update on husband Derek Draper

Kate Garraway has revealed that she has been feeling "exhausted and very fretful" as her husband, Derek Draper, continues to battle against the after-effects of Covid.

Derek fell seriously ill in March 2020 after contracting the virus and was placed in a coma during a long spell in intensive care. After more than a year in hospital, he was finally returned to his North London home in April last year, but writing on Instagram alongside a video of her garden, Garraway revealed that he has been “in and out of hospital a lot recently” and that she hopes “the wonderful health teams will help him improve".

Her post reads: “So Derek has been in and out of hospital a lot recently – hopefully the wonderful health teams will help him improve but I woke up early feeling exhausted & very fretful. As you know my garden is my #happyplace so came out for some #calm and to get stuck in to some weeding & planting. It’s been ages since have been able to & I really missed it but nature hasn’t me.
