Kate Garraway has taken to social media to share a sweet video of her family spending time together on holiday, her husband Derek is still recovering from long-covid after being hospitalised for nearly a year during the pandemic.

Kate Garraway has shared an adorable post on her social media of her family enjoying time away as they holiday in Cornwall. The star got some respite from caring from her husband as she took her children on a Cornish holiday with their grandparents.

The Good Morning Britain host has been very open about her husband Derek Draper’s struggle with Covid-19. In March, the presenter released an ITV show titled Kate Garraway: Finding Derek that explored his struggle with long-covid. 

The host also regularly shares updates on Good Morning Britain and only a few months ago shared a heartwarming Derek Draper update as he made an adorable comment about her new dress.
