Derek Draper shared Kate Garraway's isolation video days before intensive care dash

Derek Draper shared his wife Kate Garraway's isolation video just days before he was rushed into intensive care.

In a sad twist of fate, the husband of the Good Morning Britain star was rushed to hospital last Monday where he tested positive with coronavirus.

On March 19, Derek, 52, had heaped on the praise for his wife Kate.

Derek had urged his followers to seek comfort in his wife's resources on isolating amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

He said: "My wonderful wife @kategarraway has just uploaded some great resources on C-19. They're on her wellbeing website.

"I think you have to sign up to get access but it's free."

It's emerged after Derek remained in hospital for more than a week amid his fight with the nasty infection.
