Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway says that husband Derek Draper remains "critically ill" in hospital with coronavirus.

Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway has said that her husband Derek Draper is still "critically ill" in hospital with coronavirus.

The 52-year-old has now been in hospital for three and a half weeks battling the deadly disease, which has killed more than 190,000 people worldwide to date.

Taking to Instagram tonight, Garraway posted a video of her and her children clapping for carers and took the opportunity to update followers on her husband's condition.

Talking about the NHS, she wrote: "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."
