Kate Garraway is enduring 'unimaginable pain' as her husband Derek Draper continues his recovery from COVID-19, according to friend and fellow presenter Lorraine Kelly. Writing in her column for The Sun, Kelly praised Garraway for 'never complaining' and 'soldiering on' during the ordeal.
Derek Draper, a former political lobbyist, spent four months in a coma after contracting coronavirus. Although he has been declared COVID-free and brought out of his coma, he remains in a semi-conscious state with significant damage to his body. Garraway revealed that he has 'almost died six times' when his organs failed.
Kate Garraway is set to return to her hosting duties on Good Morning Britain after doctors urged her to 'get on with life.' She described her husband's situation as 'desperate' but expressed 'fantastic hope' due to his resilience and progress, including improvements in his lungs, kidneys, and liver.
Lorraine Kelly highlighted the loneliness and difficulty of Garraway's journey, calling it a 'tough voyage through uncharted waters.' She commended Garraway for her stoicism and for helping others in similar situations while raising her children and praising the NHS.
