Kate Garraway has revealed that her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital. <\/p>\n

The Good Morning Britain presenter gave the update on Thursday's episode of Loose Women, where she praised the carers looking after him and said without them, he "would have died". <\/p>\n

She told the panel, made up of Denise Welch, Charlene White, Jane Moore and Sunetra Sarker: "He's actually back in the hospital at the moment. I haven't talked about this, but not for horrific drama fortunately, because there have been lots of, as we all experience, referrals and cancellations."<\/p>\n

The 56 year old continued: "He's gotten back in for something that he began last year, which he needed the second part of, which will hopefully mean he has more movement. So it's a positive hospital thing. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

"So he's actually not at home at the moment. So we are in the visiting game, but hopefully won't be in for too long."<\/p>\n

Kate was on the show to discuss Carer's Rights Day, and she spoke openly about her new book which is about caring for her husband. <\/p>\n

The ITV star explained: "It's not that you want to be a 'poor me' about it because on the one hand I feel incredibly fortunate because so many hundreds of 1000s of people, everyday people lose people.<\/p>\n

"I talk in the book about grief and it took me a long time to admit that as a family we were grieving because I felt guilty because actual bereavement, so many are going through, that you feel that this is a lesser degree, but really, it is a kind of grief because you go through mini deaths when someone's very ill." <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently, Kate revealed that she is always worrying about losing 56 year old Derek in an interview with Good Housekeeping.<\/p>\n

Kate revealed: "I'd love to be able to tell you that, since Derek has been home, everything has been easy, that the miracle of him being at home has turned the day-to-day challenges into a breeze. <\/p>\n

"But because we keep having emergency setbacks and he\u2019s had to be rushed back into hospital so many times, the fear of him dying has never left us." <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Since Derek was hospitalised with Coronavirus in 2020, Kate has been open and honest about his health, her life, and how things have changed for the whole family. <\/p>\n

That attitude from Kate has led to many of her colleagues paying tribute to her, and just last weekend, her GMB co-host Susanna Reid posted a heartfelt message to her on Instagram, as she read her book. <\/p>\n

Susanna told her followers: "I thought I knew what Kate & Derek were dealing with. I was wrong. Read this and be full of admiration for a woman you thought you couldn\u2019t love more." <\/p>\n
