Kate Garraway\'s husband is still in a "deeply critical" condition.
The \'Good Morning Britain\' star\'s husband Derek Draper was admitted to a hospital intensive care facility at the beginning of this month after being stricken with coronavirus and though he\'s still very sick, the 52-year-old presenter is thankful she still has "hope" he will recover.
She wrote on Instagram: "From the bottom of my heart a billion thank yous to the extraordinary #nhsworkers whose skills, dedication and downright guts in the face of so much personal risk , are keeping my Derek alive , just as they are doing for thousands of covid patients.

"I\'m afraid he is still in a deeply critical condition, but he is still here , which means there is hope."
Kate went on to send support to families who have lost loved ones to the "hideous" disease.
She added: "Sending so much love and support to the thousands who have had that hope for their loved ones stolen by this hideous disease. You are not alone and I hope that helps give you strength to withstand the torture of grief."
And the former \'I\'m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!\' contestant thanked her friends, family and neighbours for helping her and her children, Darcey, 14, and Billy, 11, during such a difficult time.
She continued: "Thank you, too, to my own little band of "key workers" , the neighbours who let off fireworks tonight for the #nhs , gave the Easter bunny a helping hand to make life feel a bit more normal for Darcey & Billy, those who have dropped off food, and friends family and all of you who have sent messages of love and support. It\'s such a comfort . We must all stand together. #clapthecarers #love #hope (sic)"
