What’s the latest on Derek Draper’s health?
As viewers will see tonight, Kate’s husband is still battling the everyday challenges of reduced speech and mobility even almost two years after contracting the virus.
While discussing the latest on the coronavirus pandemic, Kate told Ben Shepherd and Dr Hilary on Good Morning Britain: “Obviously he is still terribly affected by Covid, and undoubtedly it has had an effect on certain brain connections to his body.”
Kate explained that though she can’t speak for Derek, there is no doubt that the mental obstacles posed by his poor health must be significant.
She added: “I don’t know about mental wellbeing if I’m absolutely honest because he is still so affected in terms of communication and mobility that I wouldn’t feel qualified to say whether it had had an impact in terms of depression and anxiety.”
