Today’s edition of Lorraine saw the Scottish host speak to Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shephard and Kate.
The presenting duo were speaking to Lorraine about their One Million Minutes campaign.
It was during this interview that Kate provided an update on how her husband is getting on.
Back in October, Kate revealed that Derek was back in hospital.
Speaking to The Sun at the time, she said: “Derek is back in hospital after developing sepsis that again threatened his life and we are again fighting to get him home.”
A few weeks later, Kate revealed that she was unsure whether Derek was going to be home by Christmas.
“Well hopefully before. He seems to be on the right side of it now and he’s desperate to get back home so hopefully before,” she told The Sun.
“I’m sort of living my life a day at a time if that doesn’t sound too ridiculous.”

During today’s interview with Lorraine, Kate revealed that Derek is finally back home.
When asked how Derek is doing, Kate said: “It is a long onslaught.
“I can see he has better days, he has worse days. He’s thankfully at home now,” she then revealed.
“It’s been a long battle to get him back home again,” she continued.
“I think it’s very tough on him and it’s very tough on the people around me, actually,” she then confessed.
“All jokes aside, Ben, for all his unbelievable cheek, has been extraordinary,” she then said.

The 55-year-old then continued, saying: “I can’t help but think, you Lorraine, all the people around me, must be fed up to the back teeth.
“And that is the problem, I think if you are caring or if you have a long-term situation like Derek has,” she continued.
“It doesn’t go away quickly and the fight goes on,” she added.
“The really important thing to say is that from Kate’s perspective she thinks that, but it’s just not the case for us, for ITV,” Ben interjected. Lorraine agreed with him.
“I can understand why you feel like that because it dominates your life,” Ben continued.
“Everyone has challenges. That’s the thing I’ve been really aware of,” Kate said. “I know people say, ‘oh she’s talking about that again’ and I don’t want to go on about it.”
“What I’ve learned is that you only really know what it feels like until you’re there. You imagine it, but you don’t know.
“And I now get contacted every day, which makes me feel less isolated, by genuinely, thousands of people saying ‘please say more because we are struggling’.”
