Emotional Kate Garraway to see sick husband Derek for first time in 4 months

Kate Garraway smiled as she shared the news that she is planning to visit her unwell husband in hospital on Tuesday's Good Morning Britain.

TV host Kate, 53, has had an extremely tough time of late as her husband Derek Draper, 52, was hospitalised in late March after contracting coronavirus and was later put into an induced coma which lasted 13 weeks.

Her husband woke up from his coma last week, but Kate has explained that the father of her kids still has a long road to recovery - and she hasn't seen him in person once since his ordeal began.

And updating her fans and supporters on Derek's status, the mother-of-two told Ben Shephard during Tuesday's instalment of the morning show that after work she will be dashing off to see her sick other half.

She shared: "I might be able to go and visit Derek today!"

Kate also added how the nurses caring for Derek are going the extra mile to aid his recovery, as she went on to add: "In fact the nurses are going to put GMB on for him - they have a TV - and they’re going to put it on for him this morning.

"They forgot I was on yesterday - they're going to see if he can hear anything."

Ben added: "See if there is any stimulation."

Kate added: "Trying everything we can do."

Yesterday, Kate issued a positive update on husband Derek after her first day back on Good Morning Britain.

She thanked her "patient" co-stars after she returned to work for the first time since Derek was hospitalised.

Taking to Instagram after her first day back at work alongside co-host Ben, Kate had some positive words about Derek's "stable" condition.
