Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway is reportedly keeping a 24-7 vigil by her husband Derek Draper’s bedside after he suffered a huge heart attack, according to a source. It has been claimed that since the family emergency, Kate has taken an indefinite leave of absence from work.
Derek has been in a vulnerable condition ever since the 56-year-old dad-of-two was badly impacted by contracting Covid in 2020. According to The Sun, Kate’s other half suffered the heart attack on Monday.
A source told the publication: “Everyone is praying for a miracle. Derek suffered a massive heart attack earlier this week which has left him fighting for his life all over again.
“It was sudden and a shock as he had been doing so well and was in great spirits, looking forward to Christmas at home with the family. This setback has been a huge blow for his family and all the people caring for him.
“Kate is by his side 24 hours a day and is willing him on to win this latest battle for his life.” The source added that Kate and the children she shares with Derek, Darcey and Billy, are “trying to manage their expectations of a family Christmas”.
Derek has battled several serious health problems after being rushed to hospital with Covid in March 2020.
He spent 13 months in hospital with the virus, making him Britain’s longest suffering Coronavirus victim, and was put into a coma at the time.
