Kate Garraway endures 'tricky 48 hours' days after sharing new picture of smiling husband Derek

Kate Garraway has shared how she was given a bit of hope after telling fans she'd endured a 'tricky 48 hours'. The Good Morning Britain star shared how she found solace at the sign of 'new life' as she headed out into the garden, a place that has become a haven for her since her husband's ill health.

Many fans are aware that Kate's husband Derek Draper suffered severe complications after contracting coronavirus in March 2020. The former political advisor was struck down with the virus and quickly became critically ill. He 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.

Despite fighting back and returning home after more than a year in the hospital, Derek is still facing serious and devasting consequences today. But just a few days ago, Kate shared a smiling photo of her husband at their London home - a rare occurrence as she normally keeps photos of her husband private - as she heaped praise on one of his carers.
