Hearts broke across the nation when Kate Garraway announced that her beloved husband Derek had sadly passed away aged just 56, after complications following a heart attack, almost four years after he fell seriously ill with COVID-19. The Good Morning Britain presenter, 56, shared the tragic news with her social media followers, writing, ‘Derek was surrounded by his family in his final days and I was by his side holding his hand throughout the last long hours and when he passed… Rest gently and peacefully now Derek, my love, I was so lucky to have you in my life.’
Now, as a ‘broken’ and ‘exhausted’ Kate – who shared Darcey, 17, and Billy, 14, with her husband of 18 years – prepares to face life as a family of three, she also has logistical stresses to deal with behind the scenes. According to a friend, Kate is facing more misery over ‘financial worries’ and the possibility of losing the family home she shared with Derek.
Fresh obstacles
Kate, who previously revealed her fears that the ‘money will run out’, is thought to have been ‘wiped out financially’ after redesigning her £4 million north London home to cater for Derek’s every need.
