Piers Morgan has updated fans on Derek Draper’s critical condition, explaining Kate Garraway’s husband is still “seriously ill”.
Two weeks ago, Derek, a former English lobbyist, tested positive for covid-19, and is currently battling the bug in intensive care.
Meanwhile, Good Morning Britain’s Kate is now self-isolating after she started to show symptoms.
Earlier today, Piers spoke to a dad who had beaten the virus.

During the conversation, he explained: “There are so many people going through what you’re going through sadly, including one of our own colleagues, Kate Garraway.
“Her husband Derek is still very seriously ill with this, we wish him and Kate and their family all the best.”
Piers’ update comes days after co-host Ben Shephard read out a statement – written by Kate – to worried GMB viewers.

During the note, the mum-of-two praised NHS doctors and nurses for working around the clock caring for her husband.
Ben said: “Derek remains in intensive care and is still very ill. I’m afraid it remains an excruciatingly worrying time.
“The NHS team who have been working on him have all been extraordinary and I know that it’s only their professionalism, dedication and bravery that has kept Derek with us so far.

“I also know that they’re working just as hard on all the patients in their care. It’s hard to find the right words because thank you alone isn’t enough but I do thank them because I know Derek would if he could.
“I also want to say thank you so much to everyone who has sent messages of support. I’m sorry that I’ve not been able to respond to them but I hope you will understand I’m focusing on Derek and my family right now.
