Kate Garraway torn over exposing 'vulnerable' husband as Caring For Derek airs
22.02.2022 - 18:25 / ok.co.uk
Once Kate Garraway was known as the slightly ditzy breakfast presenter who has traded banter with co-stars like Ben Shephard for decades. But the past two years have been life-changing for the Good Morning Britain presenter, after her husband, Derek Draper, contracted one of the UK’s worst cases of Covid-19 – leaving him a shadow of the person he once was.
And as she updates viewers on Derek’s difficult journey in a new documentary, Kate admits she feels torn about people seeing Derek’s plight as he battles to return to a more normal way of life. “I’m very protective of Derek and of people seeing him vulnerable,” says the presenter, who married the 54-year-old former lobbyist and political adviser in 2005, after they were introduced by a mutual friend.
Derek spent months in intensive care, including time in an induced coma, after his liver, kidneys and heart failed. And last year she offered an intimate insight into his battle in a one-off programme called Finding Derek , which documented how she and her family had coped and adjusted to a new way of life.
The programme went on to win Kate a National TV Award for Authored Documentary, which she accepted with an emotional speech that moved her friends and peers at the ceremony in September 2021, as well as the star-studded show’s viewers at home. Now, Kate has opened her doors once again for a moving follow-up film, Caring For Derek , and the opening scenes are particularly emotional.
The couple’s two children, Darcey, 15, and Billy, 12, are seen throwing their arms around their dad as he is wheeled through the front door, arriving home after more than a year in hospital. Get exclusive celebrity stories and fabulous photoshoots straight to your inbox withOK!'s daily
