Kate Garraway has issued an update as her husband Derek continues to battle long Covid

Kate Garraway has issued a career update as her husband Derek continues to battle long Covid since the start of the pandemic. The Good Morning Britain host has returned to her presenting role but continues to be open and share the everyday struggles she faces to care for Derek.
