Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway is fronting another documentary for ITV, which will look back on the final year of her late husband Derek Draper's life
Good Morning Britain 's Kate Garraway is opening up about the final year of her late husband Derek Draper's life in a new documentary for ITV. Lobbyist-turned-psychotherapist Derek died aged 56 in January after a three-year battle with Covid-19.
The ITV documentary will also reflect on Derek's life before contracting Covid, from his high-profile political career to his relationship with Kate and their years of marriage together. "My name is Derek Draper. I want you to hear my story," the former spin doctor says in the film. "I want to be heard."
"But I didn’t want to let those who have given us so much support over the last four years down, and the carers paid and unpaid who in their thousands of letters to me, feel Derek’s story has given them a voice. Also, I remembered so vividly that the idea of making this third documentary at all came from Derek himself."
Derek became seriously ill with coronavirus in March 2020, being admitted to hospital many times in the years since and becoming the UK's longest-suffering Covid patient. While he beat the illness, he was left with numerous health complications - including blood clots and holes in his heart.
