Kate Garraway begs for urgent help after leaving husband Derek’s vital medication in a cab

KATE Garraway begged fans for their help after leaving husband Derek Draper’s medication inside a taxi.

Father-of-two Derek, 54, now requires round the clock care at home after coronavirus nearly killed him back in 2020.

Good Morning Britain star Kate, 55, immediately realised her error and took to Twitter to put out a call to arms to try and get the supplies back.

Addressing Black Cab Lost Property, she wrote: ” @BC_Lostproperty help!! Have just brought derek home in a mobility black cab from hospital for a weekend visit & have left a case with all his meds and kit in the front!”

She added: “The driver recognised me but may not know it’s there – please look & get in touch – need urgently!!”

A follower who knew the driver of her cab, responded: “I know the driver Kate as he mentioned he’d taken you and your husband to me this evening. I’m trying to get in touch right now.”

And they were good to their word, letting people know that the situation had been resolved.

Just days ago Kate said she’s closer than ever to Derek – but they’re “learning a new way as man and wife”.

Despite these difficulties, Kate insisted that she’s found a new way to be in love with Derek and to form a new level of closeness.

“When you nearly lose someone, it certainly brings everything into sharp focus,” Kate told Good Housekeeping.

“In many ways, we’re still learning how we are as man and wife, as so much has changed.

“It’s the same for the children – they’re having to relearn the experience of being with their dad.

“And, of course, the biggest learning is for poor Derek.”

Derek has become the UK’s longest-suffering patient of Covid after being admitted to hospital with the virus in March 2020.

He still needs frequent trips to hospital lately and they have left her feeling emotional.

She wrote: “So Derek has been in and out of hospital a lot recently -hopefully the wonderful health teams will help him improve but I woke up early feeling exhausted & very fretful.”

Kate, who shares children Billy and Darcey with Derek, added that she was spending some time in her “happy place” – the garden – to make herself feel better.

She said: “As you know my garden is my #happyplace so came out for some #calm and to get stuck in to some weeding & planting. 

“It’s been ages since have been able to & I really missed it but nature hasn’t me. 

“The flowers are blooming, fruits growing, leaves dancing in the breeze. 

“Am sure there’s a message in there somewhere for how life finds a way, and I certainly feel better for being in amongst it.”
