Kate Garraway reveals she told husband Derek Draper 'we're going to be fine if you can't fight anymore' in his final days before he passed away: 'What you need now is peace'


At the very end of the emotional documentary, Kate said that she told Derek she and their children Darcey 17 and Billy, 14, 'will be fine if you can't fight it anymore'.

On December 17, Kate has an emotional conversation live on GMB with two nurses who treated Derek when he was first admitted to Whittington Hospital in North London. On New Year's Eve she reflects on a 'calamitous' Christmas without Derek, as her house was flooded and she struggled to get a food delivery slot until her pal Emma Willis stepped in to help. Kate revealed that Derek was once again receiving care in hospital, as she shared the emotional moment Sir Elton John dedicated a song to the 'inspiring' couple.
