Meanwhile, another penned: "Thank god the driver recognised you Kate. Hopefully the cab driver will have recognised Derek as well and will realise Derek needs his meds and the kit you left in the front of the cab.”

Derek's condition after Covid is so bad that Kate previously admitted that if Derek was left unaided for three days in a row, he could die.

Kate is currently caring for Derek herself and has insisted that she will never give up on the hopes that he will return to full health.
