Kate Garraway has revealed her husband Derek is “fighting so hard” to beat COVID-19.
The Good Morning Britain star’s husband has been in intensive care for over a month, after he contracted the coronavirus back in March.
Taking to Instagram last night to share a video of her neighbours clapping for NHS staff, Kate updated fans on Derek’s condition.
She wrote: “”Derek is still with us, fighting so hard to beat this virus & everyday I am awestruck by how hard every member of the nhs team is fighting to turn things around & bring him ( & so many others) home to their loved ones.”

“You are amazing – thank you thank you Sending love to you all in these terrible times.”
The news comes after Kate’s GMB co-host Ben Shephard revealed that she’s been able to speak to her husband over the phone in the evenings – but she has “no idea” if he’s responding, as he’s currently in a coma.
Ben said: “Staff are taking a phone in the evenings and she can talk to her husband. She has no idea if he is responding, but she hopes that he is. It’s a source of comfort.”
Kate and Derek tied the knot back in 2005, and share two children together – 14-year-old Darcey, and 11-year-old William.
On episode three of #GossChats, Goss.ie Founder Ali Ryan virtually sits down with social media star and TV presenter James Kavanagh.
James reveals all about his new fashion line Tiocfaidh Ar Sesh, which is in aid of two incredible charities, and he opens up about what he’s missing during lockdown.
#GossChats is in partnership with top aesthetic clinic Haus of JeJuve.
