KATE Garraway has spoken of the strain families face caring for sick relatives, but admitted they are "paid with love". Her husband Derek Draper can only sit in his wheelchair for 20 minutes and still requires 24/7 care at home after his body was ravaged by the Covid in 2020.
He spent a year in hospital fighting the virus before Kate, 54, decided to continue his treatment at home. The Good Morning Britain star reflected on her decision today as she spoke about the incredible response to her recent ITV documentary Caring For Derek.
Kate said on The One Show tonight: "People have been so kind, generally it’s one of the lovely things about the horror story we have lived through, with the pandemic and what's going on now. "The documentary really focused on the carers, and the unpaid ones, (unpaid) other than with the love of their loved ones.
The parents, kids, partners, there’s millions of them. "It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to do but it’s a tough thing and it’s tough for the carer." .css-qu9fel{border-top:1px solid #dcdddd;}.css-b9nmbi{margin-bottom:16px;border-top:1px solid.
