Kate Garraway has issued a new work update while her husband Derek Draper remains in hospital.
Derek recently returned to the hospital following a breakdown in his condition.
Kate has since described the experience as a “frightening and unexpected” turn for the worse.
As a result, the ITV star has been absent from Good Morning Britain while she stayed with him as he fought for his life again.
However, the presenter now appears to be getting back to work.

Kate’s hubby, Derek, has suffered with ongoing health issues since falling ill with COVID in March 2020 and he even fell into a coma.
He was released from hospital last year, but still continues to struggle with his health.
Last week, Lorraine sent her well wishes to Kate.
She said: “I just wanted to say, we are obviously sending all of our love to our Kate.
“I know a lot of you have seen in the newspapers and online that Derek is back in hospital and obviously, you know, battling the effects after COVID. We just want to send our love to them, don’t we?”
The Scottish star added: “She’s amazing. Not one to complain or say ‘why me?’ or any of that. She’s incredible.”
