Kate Garraway has detailed the lengths, and costs, she went to to make her home a liveable space for her late husband Derek Draper as he battled long Covid before his death

Kate Garraway went to great lengths to adapt her home for her husband Derek Draper, who was seriously ill with Covid and passed away on 3 January this year. Derek, a former political lobbyist, was in a coma for months after the virus severely affected his internal organs.

In her ITV documentary Finding Derek, Kate showed the major changes she'd made to her home. She revealed that she had installed a wheelchair lift, an alarm system, a wet room and a bedroom on the ground floor. Her Good Morning Britain co-host Ben Shephard told viewers that Kate said: "It's like having a ward at home now because he needs so much equipment."
