While Christmas is meant to be one of the happiest times of the year, for Kate Garraway it’s full of emotion.
This will be the fourth festive season since her husband of 18 years, Derek Draper, fell seriously ill with the Covid infection that has wreaked havoc with his health.
As the Good Morning Britain presenter recently revealed, 56-year-old Derek has been back in hospital, and a source told new that this time of year is full of mixed emotions for Kate.
“Christmas is a bittersweet time for her because in one sense she’s got everything she wanted in life with her family and her work, but it’s also a reminder of what she’s lost,” they said. “As much as Kate’s committed to Derek and loves him, this time of year can be heartbreaking. It’s such an emotional time.”
