GMB's Kate Garraway celebrated by co-stars as she reveals 'tough 10 days' which led to husband Derek Draper bursting into tears

Kate Garraway has revealed that the emotional moment her husband burst into tears after she was awarded an MBE came after a 'tough 10 days'. It was announced at the end of 2021 in the now-late Queen's New Year's Honours that the Good Morning Britain presenter would be receiving the honour in recognition for her services to broadcasting, journalism, and charity.

And over a year later, Kate was finally able to get her hands on her award as it was handed over to her on Wednesday (June 28) by the Prince of Wales during an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.

The broadcaster's husband 55-year-old Derek, who has been battling the damaging effects contracting Covid in March 2020 had on his body, was able to watch his wife, with the help of a carer who has previously appeared on Kate's social media channels, pick up her prestigious honour alongside her parents, Gordon and Marilyn Garraway.
