Kate Garraway takes break from GMB as husband Derek 'seriously unwell' in hospital

Kate Garraway is taking a break from presenting Good Morning Britain due to her husband taking a "very serious turn for the worse".

The presenter is keen to be by Derek Draper's side as he is back in hospital. Since getting covid in 2020 Derek has suffered with his health and is the worst affected living covid patient in the UK after spending 13 months in hospital, reported The Mirror.

The former political advisor returned home but has been unable to fully communicate and has issues with mobility and has struggled with major health problems.
