Derek spent more than a year in hospital after contracting Covid back in March 2020.

He returned home last April and now receives round-the-clock care.

Last month, Kate told her fans that Derek had been in and out of hospital lately.

She said on Instagram: “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 and very fretful.”
