GMB’s Laura Tobin gives update on Kate Garraway after Derek Draper’s death saying ‘she puts everyone else first’
GOOD Morning Britain weather presenter Laura Tobin has told how her grieving colleague Kate Garraway is still “putting everyone else first”.
Five months after her husband Derek Draper’s tragic death, host Kate has been supporting her friends
Speaking to The Sun at the TRIC Awards, Laura said: “Kate’s doing great! She’s the most incredible human being.
“Still she’ll always ask how you’re doing and how everyone else is doing.
“We’re moving house and she’s always asking about my move and my daughter.
“She remembers everyone else and she doesn’t always put herself first – if it was me I wouldn’t.”
However, the much-loved telly anchor Kate, 57, confessed earlier this year she has been feeling “out of control” and overwhelmed.
She has endured a tough time off-screen of late after her husband, former political lobbyist Derek, tragically died aged 56 in January, following four years of covid-related health struggles.
Kate then explained she’d been bombard with support from kind-hearted friends.
Kate started her “gratitude surge” with a clip showing her celebrating her birthday at Smooth FM as well as celebrating her 10-year anniversary on the show and “record” listening figures.
A second post saw a hand-written message from her GMB co-star Susanna Reid as well as a dress from her pal Tonia Buxton, an embroidered collar with her family’s initials and some flowers and goodies from her TV team to mark her recent birthday.
In her caption, Kate gushed: “Am now lying in bed feeling like the luckiest person in the world to have so many good people around me.”
