The 52-year-old was taken to hospital at the start of April after contracting Covid-19.
Posting an update on Instagram, Kate thanked the NHS for their work and confirmed Derek was still critically ill.
She wrote: "Another emotional #clapthecarers and 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.
"He is still critically ill in intensive care, but where there is life there is hope.
"Thank you #nhs from the bottom of my heart. Thank you too for all your wonderful messages and advice of how to get through this.
"I am gathering the things that have helped me and putting them on my free clubgarraway.com ( link in bio). I know I am not alone in struggling .
"We are all facing challenges, whether we have a sick loved one or not, so let's stand together and I hope something on there helps YOU - even if it's just to share!! Lots of love Kate."
