GMB's Kate Garraway 'distressed' after husband Derek Draper fell out of wheelchair

Kate Garraway has shared the "distressing" moment that she watched her husband fall out of his wheelchair.

Discussing the moment on Good Morning Britain on Friday, the presenter told of how she was forced to seek alternative transport to get her poorly husband, Derek Draper, home from hospital. The topic of whether taxis should be sent to 999 calls came about due to long waiting times for ambulances and other hospital transport.

That was when Kate gave input of her own experience. She said that she decided to travel home from the hospital with him in a taxi, as he was "in pain" and "distressed" and the wait for a mobility service was too long.
