Kate’s husband Derek recently gave a flicker of hope that his condition might have turned a corner when his eyes opened after a lengthy medically induced coma.
For many weeks now, the TV personality’s husband’s condition has seen little improvement, with Kate’s family often on tenterhooks as to whether Derek would ever pull through.
In that time, Kate has been greeted by an overwhelmingly large amount of public support, with fans eager to see Derek return to his feet.
The inspirational star took to her social platform to provide an update following her recent emotional and heartfelt interview with Hello magazine.
She wrote: “Thank you so much to Hello mag for helping me to bring you some of my hopes and plans for the future.
“The future we are really hoping for, Derek recovering and coming home is not nearly in sight and very uncertain.

“But it feels positive to share how we are trying to keep ourselves going as I know so many are dealing with terrible challenges in all sorts of ways as we all try to emerge from these ghastly times, just as we continue to hope Derek can emerge from his minimum state of consciousness.”
Aiming to help others who may be going through similar situations during this unprecedented time, Kate tried to provide some form of light for her followers.

“For all of you messaging me on clubgarraway.com who are also having a rough time, keep the hope alive and keep moving forwards. I will be sharing more there soon.”
