When did Derek die?
Derek sadly died on January 5 following a 4 year battle with Covid.
Kate confirmed the news in an Instagram post writing: “I’m sad to have to tell you all that my darling husband Derek has passed away.
“As some of you may know he has been critically ill following a cardiac arrest in early December which, because of the damage inflicted by Covid in March 2020, led to further complications.
“Derek was surrounded by his family in his final days and I was by his side holding his hand throughout the last long hours and when he passed.”
‘Perfect time for her to be reunited with her GMB family’
Kate Garraway has told pals she is keen to keep busy and get stuck into work as she continues to mourn Derek.
A source said: “Kate has had an incredibly rough past couple of months, and it has taken its toll mentally and physically.
“But she is a workhorse, and journalism, being on live TV, runs through her blood — it’s what she knows and loves.
“Kate is keen to keep busy and get stuck back into work.
“It’s the perfect time for her to be reunited with her GMB family.”
