Kate Garraway praises 'extraordinary bravery' of her children ahead of GMB return - 1 minute read
Kate Garraway has described the 'extraordinary bravery' of her children in her first appearance on ITV's Good Morning Britain following her husband's death.
Speaking from home via video, she said her family's "emotions are at 110%" after Derek Draper's funeral on Friday.
Draper died in January after living with extreme complications from Covid.
The TV host will return to hosting the show on Thursday, alongside Ben Shephard.
In an emotional interview, Garraway said it was a "stop the clock" moment when she learned her husband was going to die.
Speaking about his final moments, Garraway said her 17-year-old daughter Darcey told her father: "Don't worry about us, don't worry about mum. We'll be fine because you live on through us."
The TV host was able to say goodbye to her husband and had "a chance to hold his hand and smell his skin", something "some people don't get".
