How did Kate Garraway meet Derek Draper?

about about that moment, Kate said: "Derek arrived thinking it was a date and that I was being incredibly cool by ignoring him."

She did however then agree to a date with the former political advisor and psychotherapist.

"He asked me out, but the day of our date called to say he had a clash," said Kate.

"He’d promised to serve wine at an amateur watercolour painting exhibition at his church. I really thought it was a wind-up.

"But I turned up and he was indeed serving wine to the congregation in a salmon-pink jumper."

How long have they been married and do they have children?

Their love quickly blossomed and the pair were married the following year.

They tied the knot in Camden, London in September 2005.

For their 15th anniversary, Kate had hoped to have a second wedding but Covid disrupted their plans.

She told Fabulous at the time: “We’d planned the wedding for the end of summer, but I don’t suppose we’ll be booking anything now because we don’t really know what we can do."

Together they have two children - a son and a daughter.

Kate and Derek's daughter Darcey is the eldest and was born on March 10, 2006.

The couple also have an 12-year-old son called William, known as 'Billy', who was born on July 28, 2009.

Kate is so dedicated to her husband that she didn't take her wedding ring off during her stint on I'm A Celeb, despite camp rules that insist jewellery removal.

Reportedly, she has not taken her ring off even once since their wedding.
