Kate Garraway’s husband Derek Draper is still “unresponsive” as he continues to battle coronavirus in intensive care.
The news was confirmed by Good Morning Britain hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh this morning as they gave viewers an update on Derek’s condition.
After reading out Kate’s latest Twitter update on Derek, Ben said: “It’s a dreadful time and I think she’s at home with two children and trying to keep it going.
“It’s a total unknown. But as she said, as long as he’s here there’s absolute hope.”
He added: “Twenty four hours at a time and she rightly pointed out, he’s getting extraordinary care, she gets the chance to phone in the evenings and talk to him.”

Ranvir then confirmed he’s not able to respond yet, commenting: “He’s not responding yet, I don’t think.”
Trying to make light of the situation, Ben joked: “That’s pretty standard with Kate!”
In her latest heartbreaking update on Derek, Kate reassured fans that Derek is “still with us”.
Sharing a video of her joining her family in clapping for carers on Thursday night online, she wrote: “So much to be grateful for tonight. Derek is still with us but what a battle it is.
