Kate Garraway has revealed her husband Derek Draper is still in a “deeply critical condition”, as he continues to battle COVID-19 in intensive care.
The Good Morning Britain presenter shared an update on Instagram, as she joined the nation’s ‘Clap For Carers’ last night in the UK.
Sharing a video of the fireworks set off by her neighbours in honour of NHS staff, Kate wrote: “From the bottom of my heart a billion thank yous to the extraordinary #nhsworkers whose skills, dedication and downright guts in the face of so much personal risk, are keeping my Derek alive, just as they are doing for thousands of covid patients.”
“I’m afraid he is still in a deeply critical condition, but he is still here, which means there is hope. Sending so much love and support to the thousands who have had that hope for their loved ones stolen by this hideous disease.”

“You are not alone and I hope that helps give you strength to withstand the torture of grief,” Kate continued.
“Thank you, too, to my own little band of ‘key workers’, the neighbours who let off fireworks tonight for the #nhs, gave the Easter bunny a helping hand to make life feel a bit more normal for Darcey & Billy, those who have dropped off food, and friends family and all of you who have sent messages of love and support. It’s such a comfort.”
“We must all stand together,” she added.
