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.
