Kate Garraway issues health update on Derek Draper telling fans he can whisper now

Kate Garraway has issued a health update on her husband Derek Draper and admits he can now communicate in a whisper.

The Good Morning Britain presenter appeared on Loose Women to discuss her husband's health as well as share the news about her upcoming book and new documentary. Former political lobbyist Derek, 55, has become one of the worst living cases of Covid-19 after contracting the virus in March 2020 and was hospitalised for 13 months as a result.

Derek has faced a series of health battles as he recovers from the virus that ravaged his body, as he contracted sepsis last year leaving him "minutes from death". Speaking on the ITV chat show, Kate told the Loose Women panellists that Derek can now communicate in the form of whispering.
