The Good Morning Britain presenter lost her husband in January
Kate Garraway was forced to make a huge TV decision in the wake of husband Derek Draper's death, she has revealed.
The final year of his life will be told by his widow Kate in a new ITV documentary. In Kate Garraway: Derek's Story, the Good Morning Britain presenter will explore her husband's struggles as he suffered long-lasting symptoms from coronavirus and required daily care. Kate said she had to make a decision after Derek died. She told PA news agency: "Obviously, when we started making this documentary early last year, we had no idea the events that would unfold that ultimately took Derek from us.
The first instalment, Finding Derek - which was about her family's experience during the pandemic and detailed her husband's treatment and his return to their family home - won Garraway the documentary prize at the 2021 National Television Awards . The new documentary charts Derek's relationship with his wife - who he married in 2005 and the pair's two children, Darcey and Billy - and how the illness changed their lives, along with his experiences before covid, including his political career.
