Kate Garraway has said the cost of care for her late husband Derek Draper has left her with huge debts.
She was speaking in her latest documentary, Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story. Draper died aged 56 from the long-term effects of Covid, in January.
While acknowledging her job as a presenter on GMB was well-paid, Garraway said the £16,000-a-month care costs were more than her ITV salary.
Draper is heard speaking on camera during the programme.
Anita, who tragically lost husband Mike one year ago, started the interview by comforting Kate, 57, who tragically lost her own husband Derek Draper earlier this year. The two shared a very poignant moment when Anita said: “How precious this moment is to see you after seeing you go through everything and darling, Ed, you’re wonderful for all the viewers.
But for me, I was a bit parallel with you [Kate] darling, but we’re not here to, we’re here to bring joy” while Kate responded: “We’re not going to cry, we’re not going to cry, are we? We’re not going to cry because we want hope.”
