Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway has given an update on her husband’s critical condition as he battles coronavirus in a coma.
Kate, who shares two children with her husband Derek, filmed her family clapping for our carers last night and posted the video to Instagram with a heartfelt message of thanks.
“Another emotional #clapthecarers & never has it been more needed,” she said.
"If this pandemic #lockdown is dragging on for us, imagine what it is like for them. Shift after endlessly long shift , bravely going to work, to battle the virus and give our loved ones a chance.
“None of those keeping my Derek alive have ever made me feel it’s a chore, they want to win this as much as I want them to, but it must be so hard. He is still critically ill in intensive care, but where there is life there is hope. Thank you #nhs from the bottom of my heart.”

“Can't imagine how you are coping and staying strong for the kids but you have the love and prayers of many many people,” said another.
Kate’s colleague Ben Shephard said on the show, “She also wanted to share that she's been able to speak to Derek in the evenings in a coma.
"We had some guests on last week and I think a lot of hospitals are doing this, they are offering families the chance to speak to their loved ones who can't respond because they're in comas.
“But she's been able to share music with him, to talk to him and just support him."
