Kate Garraway has revealed that her husband, Derek Draper, had a rare inflammation of the brain during his battle with coronavirus.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 53, has shared details of Derek’s ordeal since he caught coronavirus in March 2020, including in her new book The Power Of Hope.
Kate revealed that scans of Derek’s brain showed areas like ‘fluffy white clouds floating in the top part of his head’ which were the areas doctors were concerned about.
She explained in the book that medics had initially worried they were clots or bleeds on the brain – something which can happen when a patient is on ECMO – a machine which oxygenated the blood, bypassing the heart and lungs – which Derek had had.
