Friends' fears for Kate's health

Kate Garraway’s friends are desperate for her to “slow down” after the “exhausted” presenter revealed she was rushed to hospital with a suspected heart attack.

The Good Morning Britain host, 56, has been juggling her demanding job with caring for her Covid-stricken husband Derek Draper, also 56.

Derek was in hospital for a year after first falling ill in March 2020 and still requires almost round-the-clock medical care.

Now a source has told new that Kate’s close friends are desperately worried about the toll the ordeal is taking on her.

“Kate is juggling too many balls. She likes to do everything herself when it comes to caring for Derek and doesn’t want to put the pressure on anyone else,” they said. “But she has to accept that she simply can’t do everything and she really needs to take some time out.

“She’s barely sleeping so she’s exhausted and has been working on automatic mode recently.”

Our source added that although friends are “rallying around” and encouraging her to put the brakes on, it’s really up to Kate to make that decision.

“It’s at the point now where it’s not even a choice – she must slow down because it’s impacting her health,” they said. “Kate is exhausted and can’t carry on like this, she needs a break.”

Kate’s army of fans are also concerned for her health.

One posted, “Not surprised she is under so much pressure. Sending warm wishes.”

Another fan said, “Good God Kate, you need to slow down!”
