Kate Garraway said she is hopeful her husband will come home soon.

Kate Garraway has confirmed her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital.

He has been hospitalised with sepsis, but Kate says he is receiving the best care.

54-year-old Derek contracted Covid-19 in March 2020 and has been battling a host of illnesses ever since.

The dad spent over a year in hospital before he was discharged in April 2021.

Unfortunately, Derek is now back in hospital with sepsis, Kate confirmed in an interview with The Sun.

She told The Sun;

“Derek is back in hospital after developing sepsis that again threatened his life and we are again fighting to get him home.

“But I remain constantly inspired by those around him – not just for their expertise but for their loving care.

“On his birthday they wrote in a card, ‘We celebrate every day your braveness and strength to keep going through the pain, struggles, and setbacks.'”

During an interview with Piers Morgan, Garraway said Covid-19 ruined her husband’s health.

She said, “It’s devastated him. From the top of his head to the tip of his toe.”

“His digestive system, his liver, his kidneys, his heart, his nervous system. We’re pretty sure that the inflammation did pass through the brain.”

“He still can’t communicate, he still has issues with mobility. Fundamentally, he’s in a terrible state. But look, he’s alive.”
