Kate Garraway's husband Derek Draper has WOKEN from his COVID-19 coma... and is now in a 'minimum state of consciousness' (but his condition 'could persist for YEARS')
Good Morning Britain star Kate, 53, has told
Hello! Magazine that her beloved spouse, 52, has finally opened his eyes and is now in 'a minimum state of consciousness' following his ongoing battle with
COVID-19.
She told the publication: 'We're keeping positive and doing everything we can to bring him round. The children and I communicate with him every day on FaceTime, while a nurse holds his iPad.
'Billy starts secondary school
in September, but Derek's doctors say he won't be out of hospital by then.'
Kate's husband was in a comatose state in intensive care for 12 weeks after contracting coronavirus, before the recent developments.
Former lobbyist Derek is now free of COVID-19, but is suffering from serious residual complications.
She added: 'He is now COVID-free, he has tested negative, the fight with the virus is over but it's wreaked extraordinary damage on his body and we don't know if he can recover from that.'
