Kate Garraway has shared she's dealt with an 'uphill battle' after enduring a rather tricky 48 hours.
However, the Good Morning Britain star, 55, has found solace at the sign of 'new life' and Spring as her planted flowers have finally bloomed.
The much-loved TV star took to Twitter on Tuesday to share the results of her gardening skills as she showcased the fruits of her labour in the form of some gorgeous yellow Crocuses.
Alongside the photos, Kate penned: "So this is why I love nature and gardening so much. After a tricky 48 hours of feeling like I am trudging uphill on ice, my first Crocus bursts up - the spirit of life and hope in gorgeous yellow form."
After admitting that she has endured a tough couple of days, it wasn't long before Kate's followers sent the TV star their well wishes as one fan commented: "Sending you some huge hugs Kate."
The kind follower replied: "These little pleasures make the struggles seem unimportant. We’ve been on that icy slope for seven years hoping for the day when it melts. In the meantime we’ll just have to don some sturdy boots. Sending hope to you and your family."
While someone else shared: "I totally agree Kate. It makes me smile and feel like we can look forward to the months ahead. Nature makes you feel good in a busy, hectic world that we live in. Take care to you and your family."
It comes after Kate shared a rare glimpse of husband Derek Draper in recovery as she praised his ‘wonderful’ carer.
Kate's 55-year-old husband almost died when he contracted Covid in March 2020 - and things got so bad he ended up in intensive care and spent over a year in hospital.
Miraculously, Derek survived and was able to return home in April 2021, but he still needs round-the-clock care.
Posting a new photo on Instagram, Derek is seen sitting up in bed and smiling as he holds his carer Jake’s hand.
In the caption, Kate wrote: “Many of you will remember Jake who cared for Derek when he first came out of hospital in April 21 – from the documentary #caringforderek, so you will know what a wonderful healthcare professional he is.”
Revealing Jake has a hidden skill, Kate continued: “But have just found out he’s also an amazing musician – under the name @sencymiller.x.
“He’s just released a song called #okukuseku (check it out in his bio) – which no surprise is full of love and inspiration to keep going and never give up.”
The Good Morning Britain presenter added: “The world of carers never fails to surprise me with their depths of talent, thoughtfulness and motivation.”
Former political advisor Derek is thought to be the worst affected living Covid patient in the UK.
He spent 13 months in hospital and continues to receive care at home as he still has issues with mobility, communication and has struggled with major health problems.
