Unfortunately, they were no longer able to fulfill this wish. Kate Garraway’s (56) husband Derek Draper (56) has struggled with serious health problems for the past three years. The trigger for this was a corona disease. The virus was also followed by a serious heart attack, which is why the presenter’s husband was in the hospital at Christmas. However, a few hours ago it was announced that Derek has died. He and Kate some more plans!
So planned Kate and Derek for example, saying yes to each other a second time in 2020. “We’re going to have a second wedding,” the “Good Morning Britain” host happily told Prime magazine at the time. Her daughter Darcey was even supposed to plan wedding number two. But her husband’s serious illness put a damper on both of their plans.
Kate confirmed the passing of her beloved husband on Instagram. “I am sad to tell you all that my beloved husband Derek passed away,” said the devastated 56-year-old. In his final hours Kate didn’t stop holding her loved one’s hand.
