Sepsis symptoms as GMB Kate Garraway's husband in hospital with life-threatening condition

Kate Garraway revealed the reason for her husband's recent return to hospital was "life-threatening" sepsis.

The TV presenter, 55, was back this week on Good Morning Britain after a three-week absence and explained why she had "dramatically disappeared" to co-host Richard Madeley. Derek Draper, a 54-year-old former political adviser, fell seriously ill with coronavirus in March 2020 and, despite now being free of the virus, he has suffered long-lasting damage to his organs and requires daily care.

Kate told Richard : "I dramatically disappeared and haven't been here for three weeks now... We were on air and Derek had come out of hospital, he's been going in and out of hospital for a while for looking at ways to tackle the damage caused by Covid back in 2020.
