On Friday’s Good Morning Britain, Kate was interviewing legendary children’s writer Michael Rosen about his long battle with coronavirus.
Michael was in intensive care for 48 days with the virus and today reunited with one of the nurses who looked after him.

Derek spent more than a year in hospital after initially contracting Covid in March 2020.
He is still battling the after-effects of the virus and receives round-the-clock care at home.
Kate asked Beth: “I have to ask you on a personal note, because you cared for Michael and Derek was two beds away [from Michael], did you care for him?”
Beth replied: “I would have done yeah.”
Kate said: “Oh my God, that is amazing. Thank you so much by the way.”
Beth added: “We did everything that we could. We put our all into it.”
