Kate Garraway’s husband Derek continues health battle
GMB star Kate and Derek will be celebrating 17 years of marriage on September 10.
However, Kate is reportedly “devastated” that she may not be able to celebrate the big day with Derek as he continues to struggle with his health.
Earlier this month, Derek, 55, was rushed to hospital after his health took a turn for the worse.
In a health update, it was revealed that Derek’s kidneys had become infected.
The former political advisor was forced to undergo routine surgery on his kidneys a couple of weeks ago.
‘Derek’s health is so volatile’
A source spoke to Closer about Kate and Derek’s upcoming anniversary – and Kate’s alleged fears for it.
“Their wedding anniversary is just days away and with Derek’s health so volatile, Katie is devastated that they may not be able to celebrate together at home,” they claimed.
“Kate knows he may be in hospital, but fears doctors could potentially advise her to stay at home,” they continued.
“The anniversary has been hanging over Kate’s head for a while now and she had initially hoped it would be something to look forward to, and even try to life everyone’s spirits- especially Derek’s,” they added.
The source then went on to say that Kate is hoping for some good news before the big day.

“I’m so proud of you today. Your amazing documentary Caring For Derek being shortlisted for a National TV Award and your capacity to use the platform you have for change, for authenticity, just makes me proud to know you,” he continued.
“Oh, that’s so lovely,” an overwhelmed Kate responded.
