ITV's Kate Garraway opens up on 'frustrating' Derek struggle on Good Morning Britain

Kate Garraway has admitted that her family have faced a difficult 'struggle' with husband Derek Draper, nearly three years after he was left fighting for his life due to Covid.

It was back in March 2020, just as the country was at the height of the coronavirus pandemic and being plunged into the first lockdown that Kate's other half and former political aide, Derek, was taken into hospital after being struck down by severe symptoms. As his condition took a concerning turn for the worse, Derek was put into a medically induced coma.

Kate and the couple's children, Billy and Darcy were unable to see Derek for months on end, due to the Covid restrictions, but thankfully he pulled through and was allowed to return home in spring 2021. Good Morning Britain presenter Kate has been very open and candid about Derek and the family still facing a tough road ahead with hus recovery and, speaking on Friday's instalment of the ITV breakfast show, she spoke about an issue which continues to blight them.
