KATE Garraway fought back tears as she recounted her husband’s final words: “I love you, you saved my life,” before he was put into an induced coma.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 53, yesterday told TV viewers about Derek Draper’s brave battle with coronavirus.
In her first interview on the subject since her husband was hospitalised, Ms Garraway said it was a “miracle” he was still alive.
She added that she wanted “just one more and he could make that next step.”
The TV star, who has appeared on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and Strictly Come Dancing, added: “And it’s not just me by the way, it’s his mum and dad and his sisters and everybody who loves him – all his friends, we’re all going through that.
“And the doctors don’t know because they’ve never seen this before. One doctor said to me that he’s the worst-affected person that he’s had to treat, who’s lived.
“They talk about an evil virus, and it is.”
Former political adviser Derek, 52, who married Kate in 2005, has been in intensive care for nearly 10 weeks after he was taken to hospital on March 30.
Kate told of the last conversation she had with Derek. Speaking from her home in north London she said: “He was very bad, he couldn’t really speak to me.
“He was begging me, he said, ‘I can’t stand this, I feel like I’m suffocating, I can’t take it. Please let them put me in a coma’.”
