Kate Garraway and her two children are still living with the worry that Derek Draper could die at any minute as he continues to battle his horror Covid-19 ordeal.The Good Morning Britain presenter, 56, has been tirelessly caring for her husband Derek Draper since he was struck down with Covid-19 in March 2020 and requires round-the-clock care.

The former lobbyist has been left with long-lasting organ damage after falling seriously ill with Covid in March 2020. He spent more than a year in hospital before he returned home but has since been in and out of hospital for various treatments, including in October 2022 after he contracted sepsis.

Kate admits that things have been really touch and go for their family amid Derek's health issues, despite him being at home now. "I’d love to be able to tell you that, since Derek has been home, everything has been easy, that the miracle of him being at home has turned the day-to-day challenges into a breeze," she told Good Housekeeping. "But because we keep having emergency setbacks and he’s had to be rushed back into hospital so many times, the fear of him dying has never left us.

The unpredictability of his day-to-day condition means we’re living on a rollercoaster."Derek currently requires round-the-clock care due to the fact he has no physical mobility and needs to be held upright by two people five days a time in order for him to bear any weight.
