Earlier this week, Kate revealed she will be able to see her husband Derek Draper in person for the first time in four months, as he remains hospitalised while recovering from COVID-19.
The presenter said on Tuesday’s Good Morning Britain that nurses are setting up a television so Derek can watch her, after revealing a day before she’s staying positive after her husband had ‘a stable day’ in his recovery.
Kate made her return to GMB on Monday alongside Ben Shephard after taking a break from the show while Derek was hospitalised.

Kate told Ben Shephard: ‘I might be able to go and visit Derek today! In fact the nurses are going to put GMB on for him – they have a TV – and they’re going to put it on for him this morning.
‘They forgot I was on yesterday – they’re going to see if he can hear anything.’
Ben noted that nurses are going to ‘See if there is any stimulation.’ by showing Derek his wife on the TV, with Kate adding: ‘Trying everything we can do.’
