Kate Garraway appeared compelled to reply to a viewer of her latest programme after they expressed concern over the rings she was wearing. The Good Morning Britain presenter appeared on ITV on Tuesday night in Alan Titchmarsh's show Love Your Garden as she documented her own garden transformation.
Kate, 54, battled the elements as she creating her very own "health and well-being garden" in a bid to help her family as her husband Derek Draper continues to battle the serious, life-changing effects contracting coronavirus had on his body. It has been well documented that Derek, also 54, became seriously ill after being struck down with the virus in March 2020.
After being admitted to the hospital, he was placed into an induced coma and Kate has previously said Covid 'wreaked havoc' on his body. It wasn't until just over a year later that the former Labour lobbyist and psychotherapist was able to return to his north London home alongside Kate and their two children - Darcey, 16, and 12-year-old Billy.

"I think the last year and a half has been very tough for everyone and our challenges have been that my husband Derek got very sick in March 2020 for a long period he was in hospital in a coma," Kate said before the makeover. "We were here, in the garden, on our own not knowing whether he'd live or die, trying to manage that fear.
"It made me view the garden in a whole different way. He's now home but still very unwell so we want to make the garden into something more than just a space to be. I really want to grow some plants that will actually improve our health and wellbeing."
