Kate Garraway joined by lookalike children at NTAs as they make emotional appearance for Derek Draper documentary
ok.co.ukKate Garraway says that it is "sad" her late husband Derek Draper could not see her nominated for another National Television Award (NTA) for a documentary about his health issues.
Kate will be hoping to secure a hat-trick in the best-authored documentary category as she has been nominated for the prize again, this time for Kate Garraway: Derek's Story.
Speaking from the red carpet on Wednesday evening, the Good Morning Britain presenter told the PA news agency: "The comments I've had and the emails and the letters have been so wonderful, and so obviously it's been very sad in a way, because you'd love him to be here, or even if he wasn't well enough to be actually here then to be going home to tell him all about it." "But on the other hand, he will be so happy, I think that the issues that he wanted raised are being raised and so hopefully that's good." Kate said he would have been "very proud of these two", referring to their children Darcey and Billy, who "get very shy at these things but wanted to come".
She added that it is "wonderful" to have the "Draper gang".The programme followed the final year of Mr Draper's life, before he died in January aged 56, after a lengthy battle with the long-term effects of Covid.
