Kate Garraway says husband Derek Draper is back in hospital again in new update as they face fresh battle

Kate Garraway has said her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital after saying he is still "damaged" from the effects of Coronavirus. The former political advisor is believed to be the worst-affected living Covid patient in the UK after spending 13 months in hospital between March 2020 and April 2021 after contracting the virus.

The dad-of-two returned to the family's North London home where he now receives round-the-clock care but has been unable to fully communicate, has issues with mobility, and has struggled with major health problems.

Since Derek became ill, Kate has balanced work and family commitments - looking after their two children Darcey, 16, and Billy, 12. And in a video posted to her Instagram page earlier this week, the Good Morning Britain host spoke candidly about how she has been 'depressed' caring for her husband.
