Kate Garraway is getting help from ITV's resident doctor Hilary Jones behind-the-scenes, one of her co-workers has revealed.
Lorraine Kelly, who hosts her namesake chat show on weekday mornings, explained Dr Hilary is a "special man" who has been helping Kate following her husband's hospitalisation.
In March, Kate's husband Derek Draper was admitted to hospital with coronavirus, spending weeks in intensive care at the height of the first lockdown.Derek, 53, has thankfully made progress towards a recovery, having woken up from his induced coma in July, though he remains in hospital in a state of "minimum consciousness".
