The Good Morning Britain presenter has shared a touching tribute to her husband Derek Draper as he continues to fight for his life in hospital.
Kate Garraway poured her heart out in the emotional Instagram post, as she and her two children spend Father’s Day without Derek, 52.
Derek is still in a coma in hospital after battling coronavirus.
Kate, 53, shared a collage of photos of Derek, her dad Gordon and Derek’s father Ken.
Alongside the collection of photos, Kate wrote: “Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful Daddy’s out there. A tough day for us but am filled with so much love & gratitude to still have for my Dad ‘Trinity’ – thats my Dad Gordon, Derek’s dad Ken and of course Derek himself (officially the Best Dad in the World according to Darcey & Billy. )
Kate Garraway shared a Father’s Day message on Instagram
“all three of them never happier than when they are with their children. I’m so grateful to have you still in our lives – & know so many today don’t have that. But the love is there – no separation can change that .
“Thank you so much for all your kind messages of support after my interviews with GMB and The Sun a couple of weeks ago. 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 & @janemoore 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.”

She added: “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.

Derek, who is dad to Kate’s two children Darcey, 14, and Billy, 10, has been in intensive care for weeks after contracting coronavirus.
Doctors put Derek into an induced coma to battle the virus on a ventilator.
After almost two months, doctors tried to take Derek out of a coma, but he was unable to regain consciousness.
Kate recently shared that Derek is now free of Covid-19, but his health battle is far from over.
