Kate Garraway is said to be leaning on Richard Madeley for support after her Good Morning Britain return following her husband Derek Draper's health turn.
The presenter, 55, returned to the ITV show last week after taking a three week absence when Derek was rushed to hospital with "life-threatening" sepsis.
Kate is said to have been telling pals how helpful Richard and supportive the GMB team have been as she is prepared to rush off air if Derek's condition worsens.
