Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway has bravely vowed to stand by her ill husband Derek and help him no matter what on the long road to recovery.
The bubbly ITV regular took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message with her supporters on Father’s Day.
Speaking frankly, the starlet admitted she is overwhelmed by what may lie ahead but has promised to “seek out joy”.
In an emotional message, Kate opened up about recent interviews she gave about her husband’s illness.
Piers Morgan’s co-star said: “Am sorry have not posted recently. I just needed a little time.
“They were incredibly emotional experiences & to be honest left me with a range of feelings – gratitude to ITV and Jane Moore for giving me the chance to let all who so touchingly care for Derek know what he is up against but also rather overwhelmed by the long road that lies ahead.”

The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star continued: “Whatever happens next I’m afraid it IS going to be a long road, with an uncertain end that isn’t even nearly in sight right now. BUT. This week I am refocusing on hope that as a family we are going to pull together with the support of friends and get through everything come what may.
“Hope- because I know that the amazing people keeping Derek alive, stand shoulder to shoulder with me in NEVER giving up on him and, of course, hope that my wonderful Derek is going to keep fighting this and eventually start to slowly recover.
“After all we are all having to do that aren’t we in one way or another – this ghastly time has affected us all & life deals us blows that we just have to bounce back from & celebrate the good.

“He said you saved my life, he thought I had pushed for the coma but then he said it wasn’t just that it was the marriage and the kids.”
She added: “He is still with us. He has fought the battle.
“I hate the idea of a battle but it is a battle… the fact he is still here and is holding on.”
