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.
