Kate Garraway vows to 'never give up' on husband Derek Draper

Kate Garraway has vowed to "never give up" on her husband Derek Draper.

The \'Good Morning Britain\' co-host\'s significant other has been in intensive care since March after he was struck down with coronavirus, but the 53-year-old TV presenter - who has kids Darcey, 14, and Billy, 10, with Derek - is holding out hope he will "keep fighting this and eventually start to slowly recover".

In an emotional Father\'s Day post, she wrote on Instagram: "Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful Daddy\'s out there. A tough day for us but am filled with so much love & gratitude to still have for my Dad "Trinity " - thats my Dad Gordon , Derek\'s dad Ken and ofcourse Derek himself ( officially the Best Dad in the World according to Darcey & Billy. ) all three of them never happier than when they are with their children. I\'m so grateful to have you still in our lives - & know so many today don\'t have that. But the love is there - no separation can change that . Thank you so much for all your kind messages of support after my interviews with GMB and The Sun a couple of weeks ago.

"Am sorry have not posted recently. I just needed a little time. They were incredibly emotional experiences & to be honest left me with a range of feelings - gratitude to @itv & @janemoore for giving me the chance to let all who so touchingly care for Derek know what he is up against but also rather overwhelmed by the long road that lies ahead. Whatever happens next I\'m afraid it IS going to be a long road, with an uncertain end that isn\'t even nearly in sight right now. BUT. This week I am refocusing on hope that as a family we are going to pull together with the support of friends and get through everything come what may. Hope- because I know that the amazing people keeping Derek alive, stand shoulder to shoulder with me in NEVER giving up on him and, of course, hope that my wonderful Derek is going to keep fighting this and eventually start to slowly recover.

"After all we are all having to do that aren\'t we in one way or another - this ghastly time has affected us all & life deals us blows that we just have to bounce back from & celebrate the good. This Father\'s Day I am sending you all the love & positivity in the world - let\'s seek out the joy! #staypositive #hope #fathersday (sic)"

Earlier this month, Kate said doctors have prepared her for the "second worst case scenario" - that Derek, who is now free of COVID-19, never wakes up from his coma.

She said: "There was a terrible phone call two weeks ago from a senior doctor in the intensive care unit. He asked me what my greatest fear was.

"I said, \'Derek dying\' and he replied, \'Well, now I think I have to give you a second worst case scenario, which is that he never changes from this. That he is locked in this forever\'. He said, \'I\'m not telling you this to scare you. It\'s because we don\'t know if he can recover. We\'ll only know over the coming weeks and months\'.

"I threw up, there and then. People had said to me before that they thought he was going to die, but not that he might stay in this state."
