Kate Garraway shares sweet unseen pic of son Billy and hubby Derek Draper together

Kate Garraway uploaded a sweet never-before-seen snap of husband Derek Draper and their son Billy together in their garden on Tuesday.

The image comes after the presenter, 54, confessed to starting to grow plants as a hobby as the family continues to come to terms with Derek's situation following his Covid nightmare.

The Good Morning Britain star shared the pic on her Instagram account as the family enjoyed some time in the garden. Derek can be seen in a grey hoody in his wheelchair, while son Billy is handing him something while wearing an oversized Adidas tank top and a cap on backwards.

Kate is crouched beside her husband, 54, in the loving shot.

She captioned the post with information about her "new therapy". She wrote: "At last I can share with you a wonderful personal challenge on @ itv at 8pm tonight - can you #GrowYourselfWell?!

"It started out as a kind of therapy - gardening & nature helped distract me when life felt on the edge and then, thanks to the team @loveyourgarden , I took it a step further & turned our garden into a beautiful factory for physical healing too.

"They even helped me carry Derek outside so he could see the fruits of our labour too - a very emotional moment . I really hope you feel inspired & comforted by the programme - do let me know!!! #gardeninglife #hope #heal"

Many of her 1.1 million followers took to the comments section to share their love for Kate and her family.

Among those commenting included Susanna Reid who wrote: "This is so amazing. You all are."

Richard Arnold also commented: "Love," while Lizzie Cundy said: "This is incredible."

The episode of the show which aired on Tuesday followed Kate as she visited Kew gardens where she was taught how plants have medicinal benefits.

She was also inspired to create a selection of plants in her own garden filled with antioxidant benefits.

Kate has continued to keep the public updated with Derek's condition after he caught Covid early on in the pandemic and spent 374 days in hospital.

He still requires round-the-clock care and it's feared he may never walk again due to the effects of the virus.

The presenter has also recently opened up about her money worries the family could face while she has also previously been involved in two documentaries following herself and Derek, including the most recent Caring for Derek.
