Twinkling diamonds, a Chanel bag or the latest Louboutins make the most covetable Christmas gifts, but for Kate Garraway there is just one thing she wants this Christmas – a breakthrough for her Covid-striken husband Derek Draper. With her compassion, care and loyalty, Kate has won the nation’s heart as she has candidly shared Derek’s heartbreaking health battles since he contracted Covid in March 2020. Derek, 56, a New Labour spin doctor turned psychotherapist, spent over a year in hospital fighting for his life.
Somehow, he survived, but his recovery and rehabilitation is ongoing and he needs round-the-clock care. Through it all, Kate has not only been there for their children, Darcey, 17, and William, 14, but she’s continued to bring her unique brand of sunshine to Good Morning Britain and taken on new challenges – including stepping into Piers Morgan’s shoes on ITV’s heavyweight chat show Life Stories. Now she’s preparing to host Christmas for the Garraway and Draper clan, so that Derek can enjoy the festive season in his own home, surrounded by friends and family after his latest spell in hospital ends.
“Derek’s in hospital having some treatment,” Kate, 56, tells OK!. “It’s not an emergency thing, it’s not a dramatic rush back into intensive care thank goodness – it’s something that started last year that we hope will lead to improvement. “I’ve managed to get it in before the end of the year.
