Kate Garraway has revealed her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital following his battle with Covid-19.
The Good Morning Britain star shared an update on her husband Derek, 54, as she appeared at the TRIC Awards on Wednesday 6 July. Kate, 55, didn't explain why he had returned to hospital.
She told The Sun: "He's OK, he's back in hospital actually, so that's a development. There we are."
It comes after Derek spent more than a year in hospital battling Covid-19 and, later, complications from the deadly virus in 2020.
Derek contracted coronavirus in March 2020 and was hospitalised and later put into an induced coma.
He suffered with a number of health complications despite beating the virus, which left him with clots in his lungs, holes in his heart and made him diabetic.
After more than a year in hospital, Derek returned home in April 2021 to be with his wife Kate and their children Darcey, 16, and Billy, 12.
Derek's health journey and how it impacted his family was explored in two documentaries; Finding Derek and Caring for Derek.
The formal political advisor still requires constant care at home. Kate has been there to support her husband throughout the difficult time and has continued to share updates on him.
Earlier this week Kate revealed her husband had lost his medical supplies in the back of a cab.
She tweeted an urgent appeal to try and get his medication back as she wrote: "@BC_Lostproperty help!! Have just brought derek home in a mobility black cab from hospital for a weekend visit -& have left a case with all his meds and kit in the front! The driver recognised me but may not know it’s there - please look & get in touch - need urgently!!"
Kate later revealed the case had been returned and praised the driver for his help.
She said: "It’s been returned! Thanks to all who reached out - the message got to driver lovely Robert who has returned it - phew and thanks to all. #happysundayeveryone".
In June the Good Morning Britain star candidly opened up on struggling with her husband being in and out of hospital.
She wrote in an Instagram post: "So Derek has been in and out of hospital a lot recently," the mum-of-two began her post.
"Hopefully the wonderful health teams will help him improve but I woke up early feeling exhausted & very fretful."
The TV star revealed how she has turned to her garden as her place of solace.
"As you know my garden is my #happyplace so came out for some #calm and to get stuck in to some weeding & planting.
"It's been ages since have been able to & I really missed it but nature hasn’t me .
"The flowers are blooming, fruits growing , leaves dancing in the breeze. Am sure there’s a message in there somewhere for how life finds a way , and I certainly feel better for being in amongst it. Now to get my hands dirty & get stuck in! #happysundayeveryone and hope you find some joy !"
