Kate Garraway has said she’s planning a follow-up to her documentary Finding Derek following her win at the NTAs.
However, the Good Morning Britain host said her husband Derek Draper – who is battling the after-effects of COVID-19 – has a “very short window of energy”.
Kate won Best Authored Documentary at the National Television Awards earlier this week for her ITV show, which followed the couple’s lives as Derek battled the virus.

Speaking to The Sun, Kate said: “We are going to make another documentary – there are plans for more.
“Derek has a very short window of energy, but we are trying.
“He has been home for four months now and it was enough for him being home.”
She added that they “really hope we can have more and more people in to see him”.
Derek spent over a year in hospital after contracting coronavirus which ravaged his body.
In April this year, he returned home and is receiving round-the-clock care as he battles the after-effects.
At the NTAs on Thursday night, Kate got emotional as she accepted the award for Finding Derek.
She said during a speech: “We want the joy back, we want it to be over; but if you’re still living with the scars, the fight goes on.

Kate said: “Have been in such an emotional daze all night I failed to get a single photo of me or the brilliant @flickerproductions team who made #findingderek.
