Kate Garraway has said she feels "exhausted and very fretful" amid dealing with her husband's ongoing health battle.
The TV presenter revealed her partner, Derek Draper, had been "in and out of hospital" recently. The couple's lives were changed forever since he first contracted Covid-19 two years ago.
The political adviser fell seriously ill after testing positive and was admitted to hospital on March 30, 2020. Derek spent 374 days in hospital and is still suffering from multiple health issues after fighting off the virus.

Kate has charted her husband's gruelling road to recovery across two documentaries over the past year. She also created a special garden where her family could go to restore tranquillity in their lives - a space that she relied on this morning as she appeared to be feeling overwhelmed.
Taking to Instagram, Kate shared a video showing various shots of her garden space. She captioned it: "So Derek has been in and out of hospital a lot recently - hopefully the wonderful health teams will help him improve but I woke up early feeling exhausted & very fretful.
"As you know my garden is my #happyplace so came out for some #calm and to get stuck into some weeding & planting. It’s been ages since have been able to & I really missed it but nature hasn’t me.
"The flowers are blooming, fruits growing, leaves dancing in the breeze. Am sure there’s a message in there somewhere for how life finds a way, and I certainly feel better for being in amongst it. Now to get my hands dirty & get stuck in! #happysundayeveryone and hope you find some joy!"
Fans were quick to support her and offered love-filled messages in the comments. Chrissie said: "Beautiful garden sending lots of love and hugs Kate, always thinking of you and your amazing family."
Gill said: "Hope things improve for you soon Kate, so glad you have your beautiful garden to keep you calm xx". Meanwhile, Rusie said: "Aw so sad to hear about Derek being in and out of hospital. It must be such a worry for you all. Often think about him and its lovely seeing you on GMB with Ben - my 2 fav people. You are such a beautiful person inside and out."
