Kate Garraway has said her husband Derek Draper is "largely bedridden" since his COVID battle and that they have been spending time bingeing TV show Succession.

Draper spent more than a year in hospital after falling ill with the coronavirus in 2020 and was admitted again last year with sepsis, and now needs round the clock care.

The presenter, 55, shared an update on Good Morning Britain as she interviewed Succession star Brian Cox.

Garraway said that she and her co-presenter Ben Shephard were both huge fans of the hit show and that she was disappointed that it was going to be ending with the upcoming fourth series.

"It's very sad to me," she admitted.

"What I've been doing is, my husband is largely bedridden, we have watched everything back from 2018 all over again."

Cox, who stars as businessman Logan Roy, explained that the show was not going to go past its "sell by date", which he said many programmes do.

Draper first fell ill with the coronavirus in March 2020.

He finally returned home to Garraway and their two children - 16-year-old daughter Darcey and 13-year-old son Billy - over a year later in April 2021.

In December, the TV star said on ITV's Lorraine that it was a "long onslaught" and that Draper had some "better days" and some "worse days" as his fight went on.

"I think it’s very tough on him and it’s very tough on the people around him," added the broadcaster, who married the former political adviser in 2005.
