ITV has issued a statement after it was confirmed that Kate Garraway would be taking a break from presenting Good Morning Britain. It comes as Kate's husband Derek Draper returns to hospital.
After catching coronavirus back in March 2020, Derek spent 13 months in hospital, becoming the longest suffering Covid patient in the UK. He was allowed to return home to Kate and their two children in April last year, but still receives round-the-clock care.
However the 54-year-old former lobbyist is now back in hospital and receiving specialist care, according to reports. Speaking to The Sun, a source explained: “Derek has been taken back to hospital this morning in a very serious condition. The family are very worried about him but Derek is in the best hands.
