Kate is “sick with worry” about former Labour adviser Derek, 52, who is believed to be seriously ill.
He was taken to hospital in Monday, where he tested positive for Covid-19, and still remains in intensive care.
A source revealed: “This is a desperate situation for Kate who is sick with worry about Derek’s health.
“He is intensive care battling coronavirus and for obvious reasons she is beside herself.

“Kate has symptoms herself too but they are mild so she is self-isolating at home with the kids.
“She is obviously off TV too. Everyone at GMB is so worried for her.”
Kate had recently bagged a chat show with fellow I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! contestant Myles Stephenson, 28, in which she would invite cameras into her home.
At Home With The Garraways is set to launch later this month.
A spokesman for Kate said: “Kate’s husband Derek Draper has been taken to hospital and is being treated in intensive care with a confirmed case of Covid-19. He was admitted on Monday and has since tested positive for the virus. Kate hasn’t been tested however she has also been displaying mild symptoms, also since Monday, and as a result has been on strict isolation with her children at home."
She said: "I actually saw him on the 11th of March. It was the first day he'd stopped shaking hands, and we did the namaste greeting at the Prince's Trust."
As footage of their meeting played out, she continued: "We're relatively close there, as indeed were all the other people that were involved in that.
"I don't have any symptoms, so I'm not blaming him for anything at all, but people are going to be concerned. He's a man that meets a lot of people."
