Kate Garraway shares update on her husband

According to Hello!, I'm A Celeb's Kate Garraway has revealed her husband Derek Draper has emerged from a deeper coma.

The Good Morning Britain host has been face timing him every day since he was admitted into hospital with coronavirus in March.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine yesterday, Kate said, 'We're keeping positive and doing everything we can to bring him round.'

'The children and I communicate with him every day on FaceTime, while a nurse holds his iPad.'

'I really believe he can hear. When medical staff say: 'Good morning, Derek,' he sometimes opens his eyes,' Kate revealed.

She continued, 'We and the doctors are doing everything we can so that he can start to recover.'

Returning to work

Kate said she'll be returning to work soon, 'The doctors have been urging me not to put my life on pause.'

'They've told me that I need to go back to work and create a routine in our lives again.'

'The children and Derek are all I've thought about and they're the most important people in my life.'

'But I must create structure and normality for the children, to clean the bath, put the plates in the dishwasher, and tidy the house,' she continued.

'I also need to get back to work so that I can provide for the children and we can do things together, to make them feel that the light hasn't gone out of their lives, that there’s hope for the future.'

Kate shared that she's been, 'living at the end of the phone 24/7, waiting for news of Derek.'

'But the doctors have warned that his condition could persist for years so I have to get on with life whilst we are waiting for him to get better.'

'Billy starts secondary school in September, but Derek's doctors say he won't be out of hospital by then.'

'My priority is to make the children feel safe, not to let them see me feeling vulnerable in the world where Derek was my rock,' Kate finished.
