ITV's Kate Garraway reveals husband Derek is back in hospital days after MBE joy

Kate Garraway has given a candid update on husband Derek Draper's health, revealing he is back in hospital, just days after he rallied to attend her MBE presentation.

Last week, Kate was joined and family and friends, including her Good Morning Britain colleagues, to be handed the top honour by Prince William. And the thing that meant the most to Kate was that Derek, three years after his life threatening battled with Covid, could be there. Appearing on Good Morning Britain, the day after getting her MBE, Kate revealed that her other half had only been in hospital two days earlier and, taking to Instagram on Sunday, the presenter shared that Derek has since been back in hospital, as she detailed her eventful week, next to photos of her in Windsor.

Kate wrote: "well what a week, that started with Derek in hospital and ended with Derek in hospital, but with this extraordinary day in the middle. I am so incredibly moved and humbled by the whole experience.

" So many of you have sent so many lovely messages , including the lady who stopped her car a few minutes ago outside our house to say “ I know what you’re going through, and I know how much that moment meant and I am a nurse.”

Kate heaped praise on Derek's carer Jake, describing him as 'incredible,' before going onto explain that Derek was going back into hospital on Monday as she added: " Tomorrow Derek is back in hospital and of course the daily struggles go on - but the fact that he was able to be part of Wednesday is to be treasured & can’t thank everyone in the @NHS and all around him who love him for making it possible"
