Kate Garraway says gardening has provided an escape for her after feeling like she has been facing an “uphill battle”.
The 55-year-old Good Morning Britain presenter - who is a carer for her husband Derek Draper after he faces an on-going battle with Long Covid - didn’t go into too much detail, but admitted that the last 48 hours have been “tricky”.
She said she had been given a much needed boost however after seeing her gardening endeavours bringing “new life” in the form of some lovely yellow Crocuses.
Alongside an image of the brilliant blooms, the mum-of-two wrote: “So this is why I love nature & gardening so much - after a tricky 48 hours of feeling like am trudging up hill on ice my first crocus bursts up - the spirit of life & hope in gorgeous yellow form!”
The beloved TV star’s fans were quick to offer their well-wishes and messages of support in the comments section.
“Sending you love Kate, hope things start to improve for you this year,” wrote one person, followed by four kisses.
“Such a wonderful life-affirming moment when we see nature bursting into bloom. Hope things improve for you and yours,” wrote a second.
While a third added: “Spring is so good for the soul.. I felt this on Sunday.. literally felt my soul lift x.. look after yourself.”
Garraway and former political adviser Draper, have been married since 2005 and share two children together - 16-year-old daughter Darcey and 13-year-old William, known as “Billy”.
Draper almost died when he contracted Covid in March 2020 and spent a year in hospital.
He was finally able to return home in April 2021, but still needs round-the-clock care.
