Kate Garraway shared her feelings about her first Christmas without her late husband Derek Draper on Good Morning Britain.
On a touching episode of Good Morning Britain this Tuesday (December 24), Ranvir Singh paused the regular news segment to show her support for colleague Kate Garraway . The programme was meant to be focusing on the Christmas messages from the Prime Minister and King Charles, when Ed Balls chimed in with a poignant observation about loneliness.
Responding to Balls' comment, Ranvir interrupted the flow to check in on Kate Garraway who is facing her first Christmas without her late husband Derek Draper. 'Yeah, can I ask you a question Kate, before I do the news?' she inquired, expressing that everyone's thoughts were with Kate and her family. Kate opened up about her situation, sharing: 'Yeah, so it's our first Christmas without him. I've been talking to Andi Peters, who lost his mum, and warned me that Christmas is the hardest time.' She continued to explain the difficulties of the season, saying: 'I think this one will be particularly hard. But I'm lucky that I've got family around me and it's distracting. But I think you do feel grief because that's the point where you have the memories of previous years and you were lucky enough to still have them over the last four or five years, even though they were very ill.' Ranvir then further inquired about Derek's condition during the previous year, prompting an emotional moment as Kate remembered, 'He was, yes. He was in intensive care this time last year. 'But we were going in to him in intensive care. Inside my head I did fear this was a grim one, but the children didn't. They were still very hopeful. 'So yeah, it's a tough one this year and I think anyone who is experiencing grief, it does hit you when you feel something which is full of tradition and you have memories. It comes back. But I'm thinking of everybody else who's feeling that.' Ranvir shared her own experience of grief with her friend and co-star, warning about the emotional toll of New Year, reports the Expres
