Kate Garraway has given an emotional speech after winning a National Television Award for her recent documentary about caring for her ill husband Derek. The Good Morning Britain presenter scooped best Authored Documentary at Thursday's NTAs for her Caring for Derek documentary about her family life with husband Derek Draper, who has suffered long-term health issues since contracting Covid in March 2020.
Attending the star-studded red carpet event at London's OVO Arena Wembley with her daughter Darcey Mary, Garraway beat competition from the likes of Katie Price, Paddy and Christine McGuinness and the late Tom Parker to win the gong, delivering an emotional speech afterwards where she thanked her husband for his "incredible fighting spirit."
Accepting the award, Garraway said: "He is back in hospital at the moment, fighting on incredibly and we hope that he will come home soon." She thanked her husband for his "incredible fighting spirit", adding: "We love you." The presenter also paid tribute to carers up and down the UK, saying: "We have a care crisis in our country but we don't have a crisis of love. The professional carers are extraordinary, the people who care for those they love are extraordinary. That's probably why you voted for this because you know it too... we all need some care and love."
