Kate Garraway's 'unavoidably sad' documentary depicting Derek Draper's final days is praised by critics as they laud star's 'brittle optimism' during her husband's Covid battle


On Tuesday, the documentary will air on ITV , chronicling the former political lobbyist's final year of life before his death in January aged 56.

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.
