Derek Draper, the husband of British broadcaster Kate Garraway and the subject of ITV’s Finding Derek documentary, has died aged 56.
Garraway posted the news on her Instagram this morning, announcing that her husband had been “critically ill following a cardiac arrest in early December which, because of the damage inflicted by Covid in March 2020, led to further complications.”
“I’m sad to have to tell you all that my darling husband Derek has passed away,” wrote Garraway. “Derek was surrounded by his family in his final days and I was by his side holding his hand throughout the last long hours and when he passed.”
She thanked “all the medical teams who fought so hard to save him and to make his final moments as comfortable and dignified as possible,” adding: “Sending so much love and thanks to all of you who have so generously given our family so much support.
