GOOD Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has been through a traumatic time.
Her husband Derek Draper contracted one of the worst cases of Covid-19 which was shown in an ITV documentary.
What is Kate Garraway: Finding Derek about?
The documentary, Kate Garraway: Finding Derek, offers an intimate insight into Kate’s experience, and that of her husband Derek Draper.
Derek has beaten Covid, but he has been unable to gain consciousness from his induced coma and is still in intensive care a year after catching the virus.
He has been left with kidney failure, damage to his liver and pancreas and heart failure.
He also has holes in his lungs from bacterial pneumonia and is fighting off several infections.
In the documentary Good Morning Britain host Kate opened up about her husband’s health battle in the documentary and said: “Derek is the sickest person the team of doctors have treated this year.
“Is he going to be able to come back or will he be alive but no longer the person he was?”
The screen fades to black as a caption read: “One year later, Derek is still in hospital.”
The 53-year-old presenter said she aims to help other people who are suffering.
She said: “This virus has impacted every single one of us.
“By telling the story of Derek’s illness and how it has altered our lives, I hope to be able to reach out to others who are suffering.
“If writing about my experience of facing fear, coping day to day with an uncertain future and finding strength for the sake of my kids can in some way help another who is feeling lost or in despair, it will mean a lot.”
