KATE Garraway has shared an honest post about feeling "exhausted and fretful" as husband Derek Draper's health battle continues.
Derek, 54, has become the UK's longest-suffering patient of Covid after being admitted to hospital with the virus in March 2020.
Despite finally being able to return home more than a year later Derek still receives round the clock care.
Good Morning Britain host Kate, 55, took to Instagram today to reveal that Derek's frequent trips to hospital lately have left her feeling emotional.
She wrote: "So Derek has been in and out of hospital a lot recently -hopefully the wonderful health teams will help him improve but I woke up early feeling exhausted & very fretful."
Kate, who shares children Billy and Darcey with Derek, added that she was spending some time in her "happy place" – the garden – to make herself feel better.

She said: "As you know my garden is my #happyplace so came out for some #calm and to get stuck in to some weeding & planting.
"It's been ages since have been able to & I really missed it but nature hasn't me.
"The flowers are blooming, fruits growing, leaves dancing in the breeze.
"Am sure there's a message in there somewhere for how life finds a way, and I certainly feel better for being in amongst it."
