Kate Garraway in desperate plea for help after 'unsettling post' addressed to late husband

Kate Garraway has appealed for help from her local council after receiving "unsettling post making demands" of her late husband Derek Draper "which obviously he can’t respond to".

The Good Morning Britain star announced on January 5 that her husband and father of her two children - Darcey and Billy - had sadly passed away, almost four years after the former Labour lobbyist-turned-psychotherapist became ill with Covid at the start of the pandemic in March 2020 before spending a year in hospital.

He was taken to the hospital where he was put in an induced coma and spent more than a year in hospital before returning home to his wife and their children in April 2021, needing around-the-clock care.

The 56-year-old then fell seriously ill before Christmas after suffering a cardiac arrest. He died on January 3 aged 56 with Kate explaining in her statement that "the damage inflicted by Covid in March 2020, led to further complications."
