Kate Garraway gave a promising update on her husband Derek Draper.
The presenter’s husband has been in ICU since the end of March after contracting COVID-19.
Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Kate revealed nurses told her that Derek looked “focused and engaged” when they put the show on for him, in order to try and invoke a response.
“He is stable and actually yesterday I spoke to the nurses and they said they had put Good Morning Britain on and they felt he looked, because his eyes are open, he looked focused…,” she stated on the show.
‘They felt he looked focused.’

“He looked focused and engaged on it.”
The 53-year-old then joked with co-host Ben Shephard and admitted: “They didn’t say whether it was me or you.”
Kate confessed that she found the happy news “very emotional.”
“We don’t know whether it’s the movement of the light, or whether it’s the familiar voice.”
“So, good morning, Derek, if you are watching. We’re all sending you lots of love, everyone here is sending you lots of love.”
“So there you go, your own personal Good Morning Britain,” she added.
The mother-of-two returned to the morning programme last week after taking time off to care for her 52-year-old husband.
The couple married in 2005 and they share two children together – Darcey, 14, and Billy, 11.
The news comes after Kate explained that her son “was emotional” over the weekend as his father was unable to celebrate his 11th birthday with the family.
