Kate Garraway, 54, outside for the first time since before he was rushed to hospital, as he attended a pantomime with his family.Derek has had a very difficult 21 months, but was able to smile for the paparazzi pictures as he entered the pantomime.Although he still looked very weak and frail from the impacts of the virus, the former political adviser seemed to be in high spirits.Derek was home for Christmas this year, which Kate called "the greatest gift" she could have ever received.She said: "Last Christmas Eve, we did have a lot of promise and a lot of hope but Derek was in hospital."We had no idea whether he was going to live or die, praying that it was going in the right direction."Derek, Kate, and their two children were going to.
