Kate Garraway reveals Derek Draper’s parents’ ‘sacrifice’ as they couldn’t see him at Christmas while Downing St partied
“Derek's parents, most movingly I think, I kept on saying to them 'I'm sure there's a way to make it work for you to see him it’s been 10 months' and they were resolute. It was breaking their hearts.”
She continued: “They just said they don't want to break the rules. 'We're not allowed to travel, we don't want to break the rules. “We don't want to put anyone else at risk and we don't want to do that.' And I thought ' Gosh you are absolutely right.; and that's an absolute sacrifice you are willing to make’."
