The latest on Kate Garraway’s husband, Derek Draper, is that he’s in hospital, and the GMB star is trying to remain positive.
Derek was hospitalised back in March 2020 after contracting Covid-19.
As a result, he went into a coma and spent more than a year in the hospital. Last April, he returned home and his family have been taking care of him ever since along with carers.
During an appearance at the Tric Awards, Kate opened up about the latest developments in her husband’s condition.
She revealed that she’s trying to remain positive despite Derek currently being back in the hospital.
