 Kate Garraway has shared a devastating insight into just how difficult it is caring for her sick husband Derek Draper 24/7. The Good Morning Britain star, 56, also revealed her husband, also 56, recently developed a terrifying new condition that sees him choke and 'turn blue'. Derek still requires full-time care after suffering serious complications after contracting Covid-19 in 2020. Speaking in a new interview, Kate – who shares two children with her spouse – explained that a carer arrives at 8am every morning to look after Derek. They do a 12-hour shift before being replaced by a second carer who stays up with Derek until 8am the next morning. Speaking to The Times, Kate was asked to list her husband's medical problems and told the outlet: 'The biggest problem is there are so many unknowns.'

'[It's] slightly poisoning his body all the time,' Kate shared. 'He urgently needs respiratory rehab.' The veteran presenter then spoke about the 'weird choking condition' Derek has developed. 'It happened again just last weekend. For absolutely no reason he just went blue.' Kate watched 'terrified' with her son as Derek's carers rushed to save him.
