Kate Garraway is surrounded by amazing friends and has received plenty of support while her husband Derek Draper fought for his life in hospital.
The 53-year-old Good Morning Britain star has put on a brave front since Derek was initially diagnosed with Covid-19 in March last year.
After becoming the UK's longest-surviving Covid inpatient, Derek has finally returned home to continue his recovery.
Kate's famous pals, including the Beckhams, Emma Willis and more, chipped in where they could to help the TV presenter out during the tough times.
The Royal Family
The TV personality recently revealed the Royal Family reached out to her and asked if she needed any help.
A member of the family sent the star a personal letter offering a Royal physician to help her husband.
Making it known to the world, Kate gushed over the "lovely" and "utterly surreal" gesture from the Royal family.
However, Kate kept the identity of the generous royal a secret when she discussed the nice gesture in her memoir Kate Garraway: The Power Of Hope.
She wrote: "One day I received a letter from a member of the Royal Family, offering the services of a Royal physician. How lovely, I thought, although it seemed utterly surreal."
The Beckhams
It recently emerged that David Beckham made an amazing gesture for Kate and her family while Derek was in hospital.
The football legend recorded messages of encouragement for her kids Darcey, 15, and Billy, 11, last year.
She revealed the sweet gesture in her memoir, explaining David initially reached out to her on Instagram when Derek was put into an induced coma.
"I messaged him back, thanking him and saying the kids were thrilled," she wrote.
Kate revealed the father-of-four went on to send personalised videos to her children during the difficult time, writing: "He sent a personal video to each of them - words of encouragement and fun.
"He said he’d been thinking of his own kids and how they might feel."
Jeremy Kyle
During the peak of the coronavirus, Kate wanted to send her children to see their grandparents but feared the virus would be unknowingly passed on to them.
Jeremy immediately stepped in and offered his driver - who had been isolating - to take Darcey and Billy to their grandparents.
"It was thanks to Jeremy Kyle that they travelled up - big thanks to him," Kate said.
"Because he said, 'Listen, my driver has been isolating and has been keeping the car very clean so I'll take the children up.'
"Very, very kind of him, thank you very much, Jeremy."
Roman Kemp
Kate and Roman Kemp were both on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and the radio star and his father Martin Kemp wanted to help whichever way they could.
The Capital FM star offered to make Billy's 11th birthday extra special during the celebrations in July last year.
Her son had a jungle-themed birthday and Roman showed up in his I’m A Celeb gear before joining in with the kids in a Nerf Gun battle.
Both Roman and Martin sang Happy Birthday to Billy.
Emma Willis
When her husband was first hospitalised, Kate was understandably unable to work her usual jobs on GMB and Smooth Radio.
When her income suddenly stopped, many stepped in to make sure the family was comfortable.
Kate revealed that although she wasn't "pleading poverty", she wasn't able to access Derek's bank account or even their joint savings.
Kate had praised ITV and Global Radio for being "wonderfully supportive", and her agent even organised a Marks & Spencer Christmas hamper through TV presenter Emma Willis after their broken refrigerator left them with no food over the holidays.
She and her two children were self-isolating since they wanted to visit Derek in hospital, and were unable to go to the supermarket - and all online delivery slots were booked up.
Emma, who is a spokesperson for Marks & Spencer, was able to immediately help out.
Kate said: "They sent over a hamper of Christmas goodies. So we had this extraordinary situation where we didn’t have any bread but we had canapés."
Elton John
Speaking on GMB, Kate noted that people have been incredibly kind and she was even offered help by music superstar Elton John.
"People have been incredibly lovely," she said on the show. "Elton John! Elton John contacted me. He got in touch. It was so strange. He was like, 'Hi, Kate. It's Elton.'
"I think we do have a mutual friend that I didn't know about, and because of all the work, he does with the AIDs Foundation he was like, 'What can I do to help?
"'I know a bit about anti-virus stuff. I'm on board. I will try and help any way I can.' It was incredible."
Judge Rinder
As Robert Rinder lives close to the star, it was no trouble for him to help out his pal during her turbulent time.
He stepped in as a plumber when Kate realised her house had no water last year.
In an honourable mention during her son's lavish birthday bash, Kate thanked the television judge for his help.
"Also @judgerinder for when I woke up this morning to find had NO WATER, not even a toilet flushing, instantly scrambled into plumbing action," Kate wrote.
Jacqueline Jossa
Her fellow I’m A Celeb campmate recently praised Kate for her strength in the last year.
Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline, 28, admitted it's "kind of surreal" what has happened since they left the jungle, but revealed she finds Kate "incredible".
"I truly believe her positive vibes and positive thinking really really helped their situation," she said.
"I don’t know how she held it together. She’s amazing."
She continued: "She’s so strong though. She’s just been dealing with it how she feels appropriate and she’s got kids to keep strong for."
