The £16,000 per month medical costs alone exceeded her income, not to mention her regular payments for the mortgage and bills
Kate Garraway 's net worth and earnings have been revealed after the Good Morning Britain presenter discusses the crippling financial problems caused by her late husband Derek Draper 's care.
Specific scenes show his caregiver Jake assisting him through hyperbaric oxygen therapy to help his recovery. Another instance illustrates a mobility coach striving to get Derek back on his feet. Documentary director Lucy Wilcox then chimes in, admitting viewers might be 'surprised' to hear Kate discuss financial problems. She assumes people think Kate is "loaded" on account of her TV work.
"Derek's care, the basic needs, not including any therapy, which I am happy to pay on top, is nearly £4,000 a week. How can I afford that? How can anybody afford £16,000 a month? Please, God, there could be another 40 years of this."
