TV host Kate Garraway has revealed why she was absent from Good Morning Britain for three weeks - her husband was taken to hospital with "life-threatening" sepsis.
The presenter, 55, was back on the ITV show on Monday morning and told co-host Richard Madeley why she had "dramatically disappeared". Her husband Derek Draper, a 54-year-old former political adviser, fell seriously ill with coronavirus in March 2020 and, despite now being free of the virus, he has suffered long-lasting damage to his organs and requires daily care.
Garraway told Madeley: "I dramatically disappeared and haven't been here for three weeks now... We were on air and Derek had come out of hospital, he's been going in and out of hospital for a while for looking at ways to tackle the damage caused by Covid back in 2020. But we haven't really had any sort of medical eruptions, and then he just was really unwell.
