GMB Kate Garraway's heartbreaking update as Derek continues to fight illness in hospital

Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has revealed she is fighting to get her husband Derek Draper home. The TV personality's husband, a former political lobbyist, remains in hospital after developing sepsis.

The heart-breaking story of Derek's health struggles have been well documented. He contracted Covid in March 2020 and was the longest Covid patient in hospital before being released home. However, his struggles weren't over and he has been rushed back into hospital a couple of times for treatment as well as battling ongoing issues.

In the latest development, Derek, 55, was rushed to hospital earlier this year after developing sepsis, a life-threatening infection. Kate has been sharing insights into her daily juggling of life on TV and being a carer for her husband, as he fights to improve his health. Her documentary 'Caring for Derek' provides an insight into the upheaval and heartbreak that has dominated their family's lives.
