Kate Garraway has opened up on the sweet message which Amanda Holden sent her which she says helped her get through her husband’s illness.
The 53-year-old TV presenter, who returned to Good Morning Britain on Wednesday, has for months been by her husband Derek’s side after he was put into an induced coma as his health worsened back in March.
For over 13 weeks Kate and their children didn’t know if he would recover but the family announced last week that he is now opening his eyes and making progress.
Following the fantastic news, Kate has revealed who was there for her, including Britain’ Got Talent judge Amanda Holden.

Touching upon the sweet messages she received from people, Kate took time to shout Amanda out personally.
Speaking to Hello! Magazine Kate revealed she received a lovely text from Amanda but she hasn’t replied yet.
“Amanda Holden, she texted me on Sunday, I felt so low,” she shared. “I read a text and I couldn’t even text back, I’m sorry Amanda, she texted just saying, ‘I’m thinking of you, you’re doing amazing’, just reading that is incredible.”

Kate revealed that stars like David Beckham and Elton John have also been reaching out to her to share their wishes.
She also spoke of how Robert Rinder has been sweetly helping her family out.
“Robert Rinder, he just texted me and said, ‘I live really near to you, what can I do?’ Darcey was making a photo wall and we didn’t have any Blu Tack.. and he was like, ‘Ok…,'” she explained.
“We now have a system, I’ll say to him [that we need] butter and milk and he’ll send back a rainbow and it’s on its way.”
Speaking of David Beckham, Kate said: “David Beckham sent some video clips for the children, people have been incredibly lovely.
“Elton John contacted me. He got in touch, he said, ‘Hi Kate, It’s Elton’. I was like, ‘Elton…’ I think we do have a mutual friend.
“He was like, ‘What can I do to help?’ He said, ‘I’m on board.’ He’s incredible. I put the phone down, and I’m like, ‘That was Elton John…’ I said, ‘I think he’s going to help!'”
