Kate Garraway has revealed the reason behind her husband’s recent return to hospital. The TV presenter, 55, was back on Good Morning Britain after a three-week absence and explained why she had “dramatically disappeared” to co-host Richard Madeley.

Derek Draper, a 54-year-old former political adviser, fell seriously ill with coronavirus in March 2020 and, despite now being free of the virus, he has suffered long-lasting damage to his organs and requires daily care.

Garraway told Madeley: “I dramatically disappeared and haven’t been here for three weeks now… We were on air and Derek had come out of hospital, he’s been going in and out of hospital for a while for looking at ways to tackle the damage caused by Covid back in 2020.

He’d come out of hospital the day before and (I) got a phone call from the person who was looking after him saying, ‘right, we’re really worried’, so I whizzed home, and it just sort of went ‘boom’ from there.” Draper was taken to hospital where Garraway said they discovered he had “very severe sepsis, life-threatening sepsis”.
