An 'exhausted' Kate Garraway has been inundated with support after sharing a tough update about her husband Derek's health, revealing he has been back in hospital.
It's now been more than two years since former political aide Derek found himself in hospital after being struck down by coronavirus. As Kate and the couple's two children, Billy and Darcy, were unable to visit him due to strict lockdown restrictions put in place at the start of the pandemic, Derek deteriorated and was placed in a medically induced coma.
Thankfully, unlike many other Covid victims in the UK, Derek survived the ordeal, although wife Kate was told he was one of the worst affected patients in the whole country. Even when Derek was allowed to finally return home in spring 2021, Kate stayed realistic about the battles to come, saying the family had a 'long road ahead' with Derek's recovery, as she shared their experiences in award-winning documentary Finding Derek.
