Kate Garraway gives heartbreaking update on husband Derek, saying he is 'very damaged'

Kate Garraway has opened up on the heartbreaking reality of her husband Derek Draper's health battle, admitting that he is "very damaged" after falling into a coma for months on end after contracting Covid back in 2020.

The former political advisor spent 13 gruelling months in hospital before he could return to his family home with Kate, 55, and their two children Darcey, 16 and Billy, 13. The pair have been married for 13 years.

And now Derek heartbreakingly needs round-the-clock care, with devoted wife Kate ensuring she is with her husband every step as he continues to battle the effects of the disease.
