Lorraine Kelly has hailed Kate Garraway as "remarkable" as her husband continues to battle coronavirus.
The 60-year-old TV presenter praised the ‘Good Morning Britain’ host – whose husband Derek Draper has been in hospital since the end of March – after she teared up during the weekly Clap For Carers on Thursday night (28.05.20) to thank the NHS staff and other essential workers during the pandemic.
Appearing on the ITV show, Lorraine said: "We should mention our Kate Garraway, who was out [for Clap for Carers] as usual with her children Darcey and Billy.
"She’s been quite remarkable throughout all of this because, as I’m sure you know, her husband Derek is still in intensive care, he’s still with us, there’s still hope."
Kate posted a short clip of herself and her kids joining in with the weekly clap, with her son pulling out some drums to show his appreciation.
She wrote on Instagram: "hear this might be the last clap for carers so Billy thought we should get the drums out to go out in style!. Its been such a source of weekly comfort for them & me & I must admit I felt the tears come tonight to think it’s coming to an end while our fear for Derek goes on. (sic)"
Fellow ‘GMB’ co-hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh sent their love to Kate after reading out her latest Instagram post on the show.
Ranvir said: "Hope has to keep us all going, doesn’t it?
"And having to find new ways, as she said, to stay strong for Darcey and Billy, as you saw there in that video as she knows she would have wanted Derek for her to do."
An emotional Ben added: "So we are sending love, obviously, to Kate, Derek, Darcey and Bill and to all of you out there that are still fighting, waiting and desperately helping."
