Kate Garraway has admitted she faced a 'tough day' after being told she wouldn't be able to see husband Derek Draper on their wedding anniversary.
It was at the end of March that the former Labour aide was taken into hospital after contracting coronavirus, with him being placed in a medically induced coma after his condition took a rapid turn for the worse.
While Derek is now free of the killer virus, his organs have been left severely damaged and he remains in hospital, with Good Morning Britain host Kate revealing last week that he had lost eight stone in weight.
She told You magazine: "The heart of the family has been ripped out and we don't know if we will ever get it back."
"He's lost nearly eight stone in weight, a lot of it muscle throughout his body.
"He looked worn-out, thin and pale with dark circles under his eyes and there were lots of tubes."
And on Thursday's GMB, Kate, 53, revealed her upset at not being able to see him on their 15th anniversary.
She said: "What an extraordinary thing. I won’t be able to see him today.
“I kind of hoped I would but it hasn’t worked out that way for the visit… But maybe it would be a bit strange anyway. So it’s a tough day.”
“He’s still here. There’s not a huge amount of change…
“There are so many seeming positives and then plungings,
“So, you have to think at least he’s here with you. You have a flicker and then a bad day but you just have to keep going,” the mother-of-two said.
