Kate Garraway broke down in tears saying their children had ' 'effectively lost their father' Derek Draper almost three years before he died following complications from Covid-19.
The Good Morning Britain presenter announced today that her husband had passed away at the age of 56 after a long fight against Covid.
Derek needed round-the-clock care after he was placed in a medically induced coma and stayed in hospital for 13 months after catching the virus in 2020.
Throughout his gruelling recovery, Kate kept her fans updated on his journey and recently stopped work to stay by his side when his health worsened.
