Kate Garraway's husband Derek Draper is in a coma after being struck down by coronavirus.
In early April, it was revealed that Kate's other half, former Labour adviser Derek, 52, was in intensive care and she wasn't allowed to visit him because of the strict rules around coronavirus patients in hospitals.
"This is a desperate situation for Kate who is sick with worry about Derek's health," a source told the Sun at the time.
“He is intensive care battling coronavirus and for obvious reasons she is beside herself."
And on Thursday night, Kate gave an update as she and family headed outside their home for the weekly Clap for Carers.
She said: "Another emotional #clapforcarers & never has it been more needed. If this pandemic #lockdown is dragging on for us, imagine what it is like for them.
"Shift after endlessly long shift , bravely going to work, to battle the virus and give our loved ones a chance.
"None of those keeping my Derek alive have ever made me feel it's a chore, they want to win this as much as I want them to, but it must be so hard."
Sending his best wishes to Kate on Friday's Good Morning Britain, friend and co-host Ben Shephard explained: "She's been able to speak with Derek in the evenings, in a coma. She's been able to share music with him, talk to him."
Ben added: "'She's been able to talk to him, just to support him. A bit of reassurance [to him] hearing her voice."
