Derek Draper, 53, remains in intensive care after contracting coronavirus back in March.

But today Kate and her eldest child Darcey, 14, were seen putting on a brave face as they shopped from groceries.

Both were seen wearing protective masks as they popped in and out of shops in London.

Earlier this week Kate's GMB co-star Charlotte Hawkins said that she "doesn't know what's round the corner" for her ill husband.

"We don't know what's around the corner.

In an emotional sign-off to viewers ten days ago, the presenter thanked viewers and her ITV colleagues for their support during the "challenging" time.

"I'm actually not here next week," Kate revealed.

"I'm taking a little bit of time off to help Billy get sorted for secondary school and Darcey as well to get into school and also - Derek, to look after things on that.

"I just want to say thank you all of you for being absolutely brilliant since I've come back through challenging times.

"To everyone here, all the people on-screen and off-screen, you've been amazing.

"One of the nice things is that everybody talks about ITV and television being a brutal business - but it's not.

"It's a proper family. You've all been amazing."
