Kate Garraway to star in Finding Derek sequel

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Garraway is to star in a sequel of ‘Finding Derek’.
The ‘Good Morning Britain’ co-host will appear in ‘Caring for Derek’, which will tell the latest chapter about her husband Derek Draper’s battle with the after-effects of coronavirus, from April this year when he came out of hospital up to this Christmas.
ITV said: “This time we’re with Kate and the family from the first moments Derek arrives home in April, to Christmas 2021 – a period of considerable upheaval and uncertainty.
“We follow Kate as she navigates the challenges of the social care system, negotiates the potential traps and unpicks the complexities that seem to be inherent in the system.
“At a time when the debate about social care is at its loudest, this film goes beyond the rhetoric to explore the reality of living within and relying on the social care system today.”
The film is a follow up to ‘Finding Derek’, which aired in spring this year and documented how Kate and her family coped when her husband was in hospital battling COVID-19.
Derek is now receiving 24/7 care at home as he continues to battle the after-effects of the virus.
Elsewhere in the upcoming film, Kate will meet old friends Bobby and Julie, who are dealing with long COVID.
Earlier this month, Kate admitted she hopes Derek will be well enough to travel to his home town of Chorley over the festive period to visit his extended family.
She said: “The dream would be to get Derek to Chorley. At the moment, moving him is a big problem: it’s exhausting for him.
“This year, we have got him home – and fingers crossed we can keep him home. Of course, he’s not going to be putting on his Santa costume, going out with [daughter] Darcey for a father-and-daughter Christmas shop or the same with [son] Billy.
“None of those things are on the horizon at the moment so it’s adjusting to a new normal but also grateful he’s here at all. which we didn’t have at all last year and feared would never happen.”
