KATE Garraway has revealed her husband Derek's brain connectivity has been "terribly affected" by coronavirus. The broadcaster, 54, has filmed a second documentary, Caring for Derek, about her husband's continued recovery from the illness.
Speaking about the challenges he is still facing on today's Good Morning Britain, Kate said: "He's still terribly affected by Covid.
Undoubtedly it's had an effect, certainly on his brain connection in the body. "I don't know about mental well-being, if I'm absolutely honest, because he's still so affected in terms of communication and mobility. "I wouldn't feel qualified to say whether it has had an impact in terms of depression and anxiety.
It must be, I would've thought." Dr Hilary Jones then said the condition is often much more than a respiratory illness, attacking multiple organs in the most serious cases.
