ITV GMB's Kate Garraway candidly tells fans she's been 'depressed' caring for husband amid 'frustrating' reality

Kate Garraway has shared a candid message about her life caring for her husband Derek Draper in a social media post on World Mental Health Day. The Good Morning Britain star shared a video of her speaking to the camera on Instagram on Monday (October 10).

As many people know, Derek had been suffering long-term effects ever since contracting coronavirus in 2020. The former political advisor is believed to be the worst-affected living Covid patient in the UK after spending 13 months in hospital between March 2020 and April 2021.

The dad-of-two returned home and receives round-the-clock care but has been unable to fully communicate, has issues with mobility, and has struggled with major health problems. And since Derek became ill, Kate has balanced work and family commitments - looking after their two children Darcey, 16, and Billy, 12.
