Kate Garraway has been flooded with support as she shared an update on Derek Draper's hospital struggle.
The Good Morning Britain anchor has helped care for her husband since he fell critically ill after contracting coronavirus. Kate was recognised last week as she received an MBE for her commitments to journalism, broadcasting and charity.
She was joined by her husband at the ceremony at Windsor Castle. However, she took to Instagram yesterday to reveal Derek needed to go to hospital after the event.

She said: "Well what a week, that started with Derek in hospital and ended with Derek in hospital, but with this extraordinary day in the middle. I am so incredibly moved and humbled by the whole experience.
"So many of you have sent so many lovely messages , including the lady who stopped her car a few minutes ago outside our house to say “ I know what you’re going through, and I know how much that moment meant and I am a nurse.” It was so wonderful to see Derek’s determination to be there, so kind of the Prince of Wales, to make it special for him & to recognise the work of Jake our incredible carer, who represents all those who make Derek’s daily life possible, and of course my long-suffering, Mum and Dad!
"It was also so humbling to meet all the others, much more deserving than myself, who were there to receive their honours. The Prince of Wales managed to make every single one of them feel as special as they are. Tomorrow Derek is back in hospital and of course the daily struggles go on - but the fact that he was able to be part of Wednesday is to be treasured & can’t thank everyone in the @NHS and all around him who love him for making it possible. I have so many thanks to give but I must make sure I thank @lisaredmanltd for the loan of my “fit for a king dress” & @missbsmillinery for its matching hat.!! Love to you all and happy Sunday."
Celebrity fans and followers flooded the comments to sends messages of support after the update.
Coronation Street star Claire Sweeney sent a series of heart emojis.
Carolyn said: "The smile of joy and pride on Derek’s face was just…I’ve no words…maybe magical, I don’t know, but it was joyous for him to be there, fully there, and watch this incredible moment for you…which was/is deserved as much as anyone else there in Wednesday."
Sylvie commented: " Beautiful Lady!!!! The Whole nation loves you and your Derek!!!!! Proud moment for you all!!!! Xxx"
Jacqueline posted: "You are truly an amazing lady and an inspiration to all . Love to you and your family xx"
