Kate Garraway released her new documentary Kate Garraway: Caring for Derek on Tuesday as a follow-up to Finding Derek, which aired last year. Her former GMB colleague Piers Morgan could be seen rallying behind her on Twitter yesterday. Kate, 54, left viewers in tears once again as she gave them a startlingly honest glimpse into the realities of being a carer. Her new documentary, Kate Garraway: Caring for Derek, provides insight into her family as they come to terms with their husband and father’s condition. Derek, 54, caught Covid in March 2020 and was put into an induced coma by doctors, spending a total of 374 days in hospital.Kate has kept the public up-to-date with Derek’s condition ever since he was struck down with the virus. She won a National Television Award last year for Finding Derek, which documented her family’s struggles during her husband’s 13 months in hospital.Derek, who did not return home for over a year, has since admitted that the debilitating nature of his continued illness has left him feeling suicidal at times.Since then, he has received specialist treatment at a clinic in Monterrey, Mexico, with the hope that it could make a long-term difference to his condition. Piers, 56, tweeted out a message of support in view of his 7.9 million followers yesterday.“This was such unbelievably heart-rending television,” the journalist wrote.“Keep battling, Kate - you and your remarkable family are a towering testament to the power of stoicism, courage & never-give-up spirit in the face of appalling adversity.
