Kate Garraway in London
(Picture: PA)Kate Garraway was snubbed from the BAFTAs as her Caring for Derek documentary was overlooked in nominations.
The breakfast TV presenter’s second emotional documentary, following her husband Derek Draper’s battle with long Covid, was not nominated.
The Good Morning Britain star, 53, won a BAFTA last year for her first documentary in the series Finding Derek about her husband’s condition.
Finding Derek explored the story behind the statistics and looking at the Covid aftermath of Draper’s cognitive damage.
Garraway said of the documentary: “With the second one I wanted to make sure that there was still stuff to say – beyond responding to very kind people that come up to me all the time and say ‘How is Derek?’."
Draper returned home after 374 days in hospital where the second documentary picked up.
The moving sequel proved popular with viewers, although her show has been rebuffed alongside other beloved British TV.
BBC’s Line of Duty, the highest rated British TV drama in 13 years with 12.8 million viewers of the finale, was also completely excluded from BAFTA nominations this year.
EastEnders was also left out of the soap category for the BAFTA nominations.
It’s A Sin, about the UK’s HIV and AIDS crisis in the 80s, swept the board with eleven nominations.
This included recognition of Russel T Davies, lead actor Olly Alexander and lead actress Lydia West.
West faces competition in the likes of Kate Winslet for HBO’s Mare of Easttown, Channel 4 drama Help’s Jodie Comer and Niamh Algar for Channel 4’s Deceit.
