Kate Garraway has sold a property in North London for £1.5 million, according to reports, as the broadcaster continues to manage debts incurred from caring for her late husband Derek Draper.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 58, had previously spoken about facing up to £800,000 in care costs. The property, described as a three-bedroom townhouse by some sources, was reportedly heavily mortgaged and had been kept as a "financial safety net".
Derek Draper died in January last year at age 56 after prolonged health issues, including a severe Covid-19 infection that left him hospitalised for over a year. Garraway had been funding his care privately, which she said exceeded her ITV salary.
A source told The Sun: "Kate takes paying off the debts very seriously and she's always said she'd go to any lengths to achieve that. This is just part of that commitment." The Mirror understands the property has already been sold.
Earlier this year, Garraway said on Good Morning Britain: "I've got excessive unpayable debt because of it, and if I'm in that position, what else are people going to be?" The sale appears to have prevented the need to sell the family home where she lives with her two children.
