Kate Garraway turns heads in a cream suit with lilac boots as she runs errands

She recently confessed it has been ‘overwhelming’ having husband Derek Draper home from hospital. 

Yet it was business as usual for Kate Garraway as she headed to work on her show at Smooth Radio in London on Monday. 

The Good Morning Britain presenter, 53, seemed jovial on the outing as she strode past in an eye-catching ensemble. 

Kate looked ready for spring in cream culotte trousers and a matching blazer.

Injecting a splash of colour, the mother-of-two donned a lilac V-neck jumper and matching ankle boots with a towering stiletto heels. 

Kate – who arrived at work on the back of a motorcycle – removed her helmet to show off her glossy golden locks, which were styled in a side parting.  

Kate’s outing came after she revealed that she, daughter Darcey, 15, and son Billy, 11, ‘are over the moon and overwhelmed in equal measure’ at having husband Derek back home. 

Lobbyist Derek Draper, 53, spent more than a year in intensive care but returned to the couple’s home in north London earlier this month.

She likened it to bringing home a newborn baby, saying after extensive planning she asked herself ‘what the heck do we do now?’.

But she stressed: ‘Its been completely overwhelming but also wonderful.’

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Kate said: ‘Its been completely overwhelming but also wonderful.’

She added: ‘It was a medical reason for coming home as well as our desire and his desire to to encourage a more normal environment to stimulate his recovery and consciousness and they [the children] have been absolutely loving it.

‘Really helpful. It’s been great actually.’

Kate has adapted their home to make it more accessible for her husband, who cannot move or talk on his own and still needs to be on a stretcher or wheelchair.

She has installed a ramp outside their property and a lift to the garden, as well as converting their garage into a wet room. She is now believed to be facing medical bills costing her tens of thousands.

Derek will work with physiotherapists and speech therapists as part of his recovery. 

It has been confirmed that Derek is Britain’s longest surviving Covid hospital patient after he was first admitted with breathing difficulties on March 30 last year.

He was put on a ventilator and spent months in a form of coma before uttering his first word – ‘pain’ – in October last year.

The father of two’s body has been ‘universally affected’ by the condition, which means that it has targeted his lungs, heart, kidneys, liver and pancreas.
