Kate Garraway has revealed her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital.
The former lobbyist was hospitalised in March 2020 after contracting Covid-19, and spent over a year in ICU as he suffered long-term damage to his organs.
The 54-year-old was released from hospital in April last year and had been receiving around-the-clock care at home.
His wife Kate has since revealed he has returned to hospital, but did not disclose why.
Speaking to The Sun about her husband’s health at the Tric Awards in London on Wednesday, the popular presenter said: “He’s OK, he’s back in hospital actually, so that’s a development. There we are.”
Kate also praised the couple’s children Darcey, 16, and Billy, 12, for their support amid Derek’s health battle, saying: “They’ve been amazing – all the way through.”
Kate and Derek tied the knot back in 2005.
During an emotional interview on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories in December, Kate was asked: “What has Covid done to your husband?”
The Good Morning Britain host replied: “It’s devastated him. From the top of his head to the tip of his toe.”
“His digestive system, his liver, his kidneys, his heart, his nervous system. We’re pretty sure that the inflammation did pass through the brain.”
“He still can’t communicate, he still has issues with mobility. Fundamentally, he’s in a terrible state. But look, he’s alive.”
