Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway has spoken more about her husband Derek Draper’s ongoing recovery from Covid-19 for a follow-up documentary, Kate Garraway: Caring For Derek.
In an advert for the forthcoming film, viewers see the 54-year-old continuing her care for her husband who became seriously ill with coronavirus after catching the virus in March 2020, the Mirror reports.
Kate said in the clip: “I'm very protective of people seeing him vulnerable but this is the reality of life for people that are caring. The person he is now, in many ways, is a stranger.”
Derek, 54, did not return home for a year after he was put into an induced coma by doctors after catching Covid-19.
The new documentary will see Life Stories presenter Kate as she adjusts to the changes in her life with the political lobbyist turned psychotherapist and their children Darcey, 15, and William, 12.
Kate said: “If we have a love and he can be a dad to the children in a whole new way, that's life isn't it.”
The presenter, who has been Derek’s principal carer since his release from hospital last April, says she is buoyed by flashes of her husband's former self.
In an interview with You magazine, the TV star admitted her relationship has changed, saying: “I’m not sure that we’ve ever fallen out of love, but I think a new path is emerging, a new way to be in love.
“He puts huge trust in me. He just says, “Whatever you think”, which is wonderful, but I do get quite tearful about it. I think, “God, I hope I’m worthy of that trust."
