Kate Garraway has shared the heartbreaking update that her husband Derek Draper is still suffering ‘damage’ from being struck down by Covid.
Sharing an update on Derek’s ongoing recovery, the Good Morning Britain presenter said: ‘It is challenging, he’s still very, very damaged. He still can’t really move, still can’t really speak, still fed through tubes, and so there’s a long road ahead.’
Speaking to Giovanna Fletcher on her Walt Disney Travel Company podcast Journey To The Magic, Kate added that the family is ‘OK, they’re good’. She added of Derek: ‘But if you compare to last Christmas or the Christmas before, when he was still in hospital then you can see improvement.The couple’s children Darcey and Billie are ‘doing OK’ ‘It’s just, you just want it to be quicker and faster, of course, like everybody would. But it’s a challenging one – he spent most of last year in the hospital as well for various different things, so it was lovely to have him home.
Kate has released two documentaries following her experience of caring for Derek since his health battle began; ITV1’s Finding Derek and the follow-up Caring For Derek, both of which won National Television Awards.More:
