Kate Garraway's husband, Derek Draper, has sadly passed away at the age of 56. Derek battled the long-lasting effects of Covid-19, leaving behind a grieving wife and their two children, Darcey and William. Kate expressed her deep sorrow over the loss, acknowledging her "luck" in sharing her life with him and holding his hand through his final hours.
In a poignant statement, Kate revealed the details of Derek's critical condition, tracing back to a cardiac arrest in December, exacerbated by the lingering damage from his Covid-19 infection in March 2020. Despite the efforts of medical teams, Derek's health continued to decline, leading to his eventual passing. Kate extended gratitude to the healthcare professionals who fought tirelessly for Derek and made his final moments as comfortable and dignified as possible.
The pair were introduced by ex-GMTV political editor and former MP Gloria De Piero. Speaking to The Times, Kate recalled: "Derek arrived thinking it was a date and that I was being incredibly cool by ignoring him." She continued: “He asked me out, but the day of our date called to say he had a clash.” "He’d promised to serve wine at an amateur watercolour painting exhibition at his church. I really thought it was a wind-up.
"But I turned up and he was indeed serving wine to the congregation in a salmon-pink jumper." Their love blossomed and the pair were married the following year, tying the knot in Camden, North London, in September 2005. Kate's journey through this challenging period has been marked by resilience and openness. Last November, she discussed Derek's condition on the Emotionally Speaking podcast, providing glimpses into the struggles they faced.
