'BUMPY' CHRISTMAS

Kate Garraway’s husband Derek Draper in Christmas ‘scare’ after reaching huge milestone in his recovery

KATE Garraway has revealed her husband Derek Draper suffered a "scare" 21 months after he was struck down with Covid.

The 54-year-old has been caring for Derek since he returned home from hospital in April as he continues to recover from his battle with Covid-19.

Derek flashed a smile for the cameras too as he's seen outside for the first time since contracting Covid in March 2020.

The family went to watch Cinderella at Richmond Theatre in West London on Wednesday.

And Kate admitted that having Derek home for Christmas this year was "the greatest gift’ she could receive".

"Last Christmas Eve, we did have a lot of promise and a lot of hope but Derek was in hospital," she said.

"We had no idea whether he was going to live or die, praying that it was going in the right direction."

Just days later Kate updated Good Morning Britain viewers about her Christmas plans.

Speaking on the ITV breakfast show, Kate, 54, told co-host Richard Bacon, 46, about the extraordinary moment they realised the former lobbyist "could understand" her.
