GMB host Piers, 55, revealed that Kate and Derek had “never been happier” before he contracted coronavirus in March last year.
Even though Derek is now free of the virus, his body is trying to recover from the after-effects and Piers said there’s a chance Derek “may never recover”.

“Never seen Kate and Derek happier”
Piers revealed he last saw them at his annual Christmas party in 2019.
Kate had recently finished her stint on I’m A Celebrity.
I’ve never seen them happier, they were going to review their wedding vows.
“I’ve never seen them happier, they were going to review their wedding vows. Then that happened,” Piers said.

What did Lorraine say about Kate?
Last week, her friend and ITV colleague Lorraine Kelly praised Kate for her courage.
She told OK! magazine: “I don’t know how she does it. We’ve known each other for years and I’ve always really liked her because, obviously, she’s lovely but she is also a steel magnolia.
“She’s been incredible. She says she’s not doing anything anyone else wouldn’t do but I’m not so sure about that.”
Lorraine also said that she understood that Kate has to keep going because of her two children.
