ITV viewers were left in tears just minutes into Kate Garraway's latest documentary.
The Good Morning Britain star was back on-screen on Tuesday night as she let the cameras into her home as she helped care for her husband Derek Draper.
Caring for Derek follows on from Kate's award-winning documentary, Finding Derek, which aired last year and detailed Derek's hospital plight.
The new documentary began with the moment Derek, 54, arrived home from the hospital - more than 370 days after he was first admitted with coronavirus symptoms.

Kate and Derek's son excitedly waited by the window at their north London home before giving the cameras a tour around Derek's downstairs room and wet room that was fitted while he was in the hospital.
There was also a heartwarming moment where Derek initiated a hug with his son Billy by moving his arms above his waist while sitting in his wheelchair.
Billy wasted no time in responding to his dad's actions and the pair shared a warm embrace. Kate was then seen walking back into the room having missed the sweet father and son moment.
And it's fair to say the emotion hit viewers watching the moment on ITV.
