Derek Draper, a former political adviser who is 56 years old, has been experiencing severe complications from an illness. This illness has caused lasting harm to his internal organs.

It was reported on Sunday that he had to return to the hospital due to another negative development.

ITV co-stars of Garraway have conveyed their affection to her family.

Charlotte Hawkins, who hosted Good Morning Britain on Monday, began the show by providing viewers with some news. She informed them about Derek, Kate's husband, who is currently in a critical condition. This information might have been already known to people who watched the news over the weekend.

Richard Madeley, who is co-hosting the show, expressed his sympathy for Derek, Kate and their entire family. He wanted to assure them that they are in the thoughts of everyone and that many people are also sharing their well wishes. He acknowledged that this must be an incredibly challenging time for them.

Hawkins added, "That's right. We all send our love."

Kate Garraway has been honored with the title of Member of the Order of the British Empire in the year 2023. She was accompanied by her spouse, Derek Draper, as well as her mom and dad, Gordon and Marilyn Garraway.

Garraway announced in April 2021 that Draper had been discharged from the hospital after staying there for more than a year.

She mentioned that he is unable to move and they require a significant amount of support. It's not just about taking care of him, as it demands round-the-clock attention. As you may have noticed, she hasn't been able to get much sleep.

I will take a step back as I am currently very alert. Also, the team has changed, so he may have gotten accustomed to the staff at the hospital. Now, there is a new team to assist him in recovering.

A significant amount of change is going to be necessary.

The ITV documentary Finding Derek documented how the family adapted to a new way of life because of his uncommon condition. The movie delved into how Draper's sickness affected their two offspring - Darcey, who is 15 years old, and Billy, who is 11 years old.
