Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway has opened up about how caring for her husband Derek Draper, who fell ill with Covid-19 in March 2020, has been 'tough financially'
Good Morning Britain’s Kate Garraway said “the costs go through the roof” when a relative becomes seriously ill, because of ‘the changes you have to make to your home’ and ‘your ability to work’.
The 55-year-old told The Sun: “Of course it’s been tough financially. As anyone with a loved one who is seriously ill knows, the costs go through the roof in so many ways. “But we will never give up trying and I know I’m in an incredibly lucky position compared to so many, which is why I want to speak up now on behalf of everyone else.”
She said: “Perhaps there is the assumption that because I’m on the telly, and because people have heard so much of Derek’s story — and he has touched so many hearts — that we’ve had special treatment from the NHS or bypassed waiting lists. She said: “There are some days where he literally cannot do anything and it’s like the computer is switched off.
