Kate Garraway has been forced to miss Good Morning Britain for the second week in a row after husband Derek Draper took a 'turn for the worse' last week, with fans rushing to offer their support.
TV favourite Kate was told that other half Derek was the 'worst affected' Covid survivor in the UK after his lengthy battle with the virus at the height of lockdown in 2020. After contracting really bad symptoms, Derek went into hospital and was then placed in a medically induced coma as his condition deteriorated.
As the former political aide remained in a grave state, wife Kate and children Billy and Darcy were unable to see him for months, due to strict restrictions in place at the time. Derek was finally allowed ro return home in spring 2021 but, speaking at the time, Kate admitted there was an 'uncertain road ahead.'
