Kate Garraway has paid tribute to her children after revealing her husband, Derek Draper, is back in the hospital.
Derek was first hospitalised back in March 2020 after contracting COVID-19.
At the time, he spent more than a year in the hospital. Last April, he returned home and has been receiving round-the-clock care from his family ever since.
Speaking at the TRIC Awards last night (July 6), Kate gave an update on her husband’s health and shared some insight into how her family have been coping.

“He’s okay, he’s back in the hospital actually, so that’s development. There we are. I don’t know what I can say,” the Good Morning Britain star said.
They’ve been amazing – all the way through.
She revealed that the couple’s two children, Darcey, 16, and Billy, 12, have been supporting their father, adding: “They’ve been amazing – all the way through.”

Meanwhile, Kate’s been open and honest about her journey with Derek and how it’s impacted their marriage.
She recently told Good Housekeeping: “When you nearly lose someone, it certainly brings everything into sharp focus.
“In many ways, we’re still learning how we are as man and wife, as so much has changed.”
