Kate Garraway has shared an update on her husband Derek Draper’s condition as he battles coronavirus, explaining that he’s ‘still critically ill’.

The Good Morning Britain host has been sharing clips from the weekly round of applause for NHS carers, this week showing the pair’s children, William and Darcey.

‘Another emotional #clapthecarers & never has it been more needed,’ she wrote. ‘If this pandemic #lockdown is dragging on for us, imagine what it is like for them.

‘Shift after endlessly long shift , bravely going to work, to battle the virus and give our loved ones a chance. None of those keeping my Derek alive have ever made me feel it’s a chore, they want to win this as much as I want them to, but it must be so hard.’

Kate, who has been married to Derek since 2005, added: ‘He is still critically ill in intensive care, but where there is life there is hope. Thank you #nhs from the bottom of my heart . Thank you too for all your wonderful messages and advice of how to get through this.
