Derek Draper: Latest News

KATE Garraway was close to tears as she grilled former Health Secretary Matt Hancock over flouting lockdown guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic. The emotional Good Morning Britain host, 55, called out the I'm A Celebrity star for his actions and flagged how her husband Derek Draper was left fighting for his life after contracting Covid in 2020.

Derek has since faced many health battles including sepsis. On Tuesday's ITV show, Kate repeatedly blinked to try to hold her emotions back as she took the lead in the tough interview.

She told viewers how she had repeated contact with the politician during the pandemic, and supported some of the additional measures Matt, 44, had called for. These included expanding the symptoms list and putting long Covid under a greater spotlight.
