Good Morning Britain 's Richard Arnold revealed Sir Elton John serenaded Kate Garraway and her husband Derek Draper at The O2 Arena on Monday night.
He explained: "Our very own Kate Garraway and Derek were serenaded last night by none other than Sir Elton John himself. He spied them in the audience at The O2 and dedicated the track Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me to them, telling the rest of the arena how he thrilled he was, calling them an inspiring couple."
Richard explained Kate played her husband Sir Elton's tracks while he was recovering in hospital.
He added: "It's lovely to see them out and about because of course as we know it's quite the feat so it's wonderful that they got to share that moment together."
"That is so emotional," Susanna agreed. "What a beautiful song to pay tribute. Well done Elton, you're a superstar."
Last night, Sir Elton told fans the "inspiring" couple had suffered "really tough times".
He said: “They’re inspiring. They’ve never given up and I’m so thrilled they’re here, I can’t believe they are here.”
“I want to dedicate this song to the people I mentioned before, but especially to you guys.”
The Good Morning Britain presenter and Derek travelled from their home in North London with children Darcey and Billy.
Kate previously revealed that she played Sir Elton’s music to Derek in hospital.
After contracting the virus in March 2020, Kate was contacted by Sir Elton in July of that year while her husband was in intensive care.
She told Good Morning Britain: “Elton John contacted me. It was so strange. I was like, ‘Elton… John?’ We do have a mutual friend, which I didn’t know about. And because of all the work he does with the Aids Foundation he was like, ‘What can I do to help? I know a bit about antiviral stuff. And I’m on board. I’ll try to help.' He’s incredible.”
More than three years since Derek first contracted Covid, Kate told Giovanna Fletcher on the Journey to the Magic podcast that he is still "very damaged".
She said: "It is challenging, he's still very, very damaged. He still can't really move, still can't really speak, still fed through tubes, and so there's a long road ahead. But if you compare to last Christmas or the Christmas before, when he was still in hospital then you can see improvement."
