Exhausted Kate Garraway 'very fretful' as husband Derek back 'in and out' of hospital
Kate Garraway has given her loyal followers an update on her husband's condition, explaining she is feeling 'exhausted and very fretful'. The Good Morning Britain host revealed Derek Draper had been 'in and out of hospital' in a social media post over the weekend.
She has been sharing updates on her husband's health after the former political lobbyist turned psychotherapist was hospitalised with coronavirus in March 2020. The virus 'wreaked havoc' on his body, leaving him in a coma before he had to spend more than a year in hospital. He returned to the family home in April 2021 where he receives 24 hour care.
While Derek, 54, had made progress, Kate, 55, has told fans Derek's battle is far from over with his continuous trips to the hospital of late.

Sharing a video of flowers and trees shivering in the wind to her Instagram page, Kate wrote: "So Derek has been in and out of hospital a lot recently - hopefully, the wonderful health teams will help him improve but I woke up early feeling exhausted & very fretful.
"As you know my garden is my #happyplace so came out for some #calm and to get stuck into some weeding & planting. It’s been ages since have been able to & I really missed it but nature hasn’t me. The flowers are blooming, fruits growing, leaves dancing in the breeze."
She then added: "Am sure there’s a message in there somewhere for how life finds a way, and I certainly feel better for being in amongst it. Now to get my hands dirty & get stuck in! #happysundayeveryone and hope you find some joy!"
