He said on the programme: “I think lockdown has been very hard for so many people.
“I look at this year and if have learned anything, it’s that storms come and go. When you’re in them, they can seem intense but they don’t last forever and it will pass.”
He added: “We are all cheering for you… how are your children?”
Kate told him they wouldn’t have enough time to “go into it”.

So hard that it’s the second we’ve lived through in lockdown/restrictions and of course our second without Derek home.
