What happened during Finding Derek?
In Kate’s documentary Finding Derek on Tuesday night, the presenter showed a personal insight into Derek’s health battle.
Derek has been in hospital since March last year after contracting the virus, which has ravaged his body.
During the show, Kate spoke about the possibility of having to fall in love with Derek again if he’s “not her Derek” once he is out of hospital.
Kate said: “Well, he is still Derek, he is still him… he is still that person that you love but he will behave differently and will be physically different.
“Will I be okay? I wont be delighted because I wouldn’t wish that on him, it will be very tough on us both, but he is for better or worse…”
