Kate Garraway says she still ‘can’t see’ Derek Draper in hospital as Frank Bruno sends his best wishes to ill husband
KATE Garraway today revealed she still "can't see or visit" husband Derek Draper in hospital as Frank Bruno sent his best wishes.
The legendary boxer was on Good Morning Britain to talk about his new documentary with Mike Tyson and told the host he wished Derek well.
Speaking to Kate and Ben Shephard, Frank said: "We all go through ups and downs. If you see your husband today, Kate, give him my regards please."
Kate, 53, responded: "I will do. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to, I haven't for two months. But I will try to pass that message on, that's very kind. I will try and do that."
Whilst Derek has beaten Covid he's been unable to gain consciousness from his induced coma and is still in intensive care nearly a year after catching the virus.
Derek and Kate married in 2005 and are mum and dad to 14-year-old Darcey as well as Billy, with the two children able to visit him in hospital shortly before Christmas for the first time.
Kate returned to Good Morning Britain earlier this month after an extended absence.
The 53-year-old has been balancing work duties with raising her two children while Derek remains in a serious condition in hospital.
The difficult circumstances have left Kate feeling run down and she has previously been given time to recharge at home.
"ITV gave me time off as I hadn't been feeling well," she explained.
"The chickens came home to roost after long year, and I just took some holiday at home. I had a lot of sleep and medicine and feeling much better."
