KATE Garraway was missing today from Good Morning Britain as she continues to care for her husband Derek Draper.
The presenter, 55, has been caring for Derek at home since April last year after he contracted Covid-19 at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic.
She can usually be seen on Good Morning Britain on Fridays hosting the show with Ben Shephard.
Today, Ben took on the main presenting duties alongside newsreader Charlotte Hawkins.
Kate disclosed in August that Derek, 55, had been “in and out” of medical care for a number of weeks due to “very severe” sepsis.
Derek was admitted to hospital again last month, and Kate told The Sun she feared he won't make it
She added she was living her life "one day at a time."
Writing in The Sun last month, the brave mum-of-two also revealed: “Derek is back in hospital after developing sepsis that again threatened his life and we are again fighting to get him home.
“But I remain constantly inspired by those around him – not just for their expertise but for their loving care.”
Kate has been honest about her journey with former political advisor Derek, who she married in 2005 in Camden, since he contracted the virus.
She wrote in The Sun: "You see, I am one of the lucky ones.
"Not only did I pray every night for months when Derek's life hung in the balance to have the chance to care for him, also I have supportive employers and family and friends to help."
The ITV star appeared on GMB just yesterday and spoke about feeling uncomfortable seeing disgraced former Health Secretary Matt Hancock appearing on I'm A Celebrity after Susanna Reid said his jungle stint was "the top news story".
Kate said: “The challenge is, you’re going to see him laughing and being human and being the personable person that I’m sure he is to his family and friends, and that feels uncomfortable, I think, for so many people when there’s still so much unanswered, actually.”
She added: "I think instinctively, me personally, would want to talk to him and ask him questions about it to try to get to the bottom of how he really felt about it.
“There will be people watching whose grief is still very raw from losing people and they won't see that rawness of grief and sadness in the way Matt Hancock is behaving on screen."
Viewers were also left fuming that Matt was the main focus of the news show.
One tweeted: "Hancock in the jungle is the main news of the day according to #GMBThat will come as a surprise to the people of UkraineOver to #EarlyRundown."
Another commented: “Biggest nursing strike of a generation yet you’re leading with Hancock going into a jungle. #gmb"
One more asked: "Why are you so obsessed with Matt Hancock? War in Ukraine, people can't afford to eat or heat their homes etc but your shows fixated on one man.”
