Kate Garraway moved by ‘lucky’ sighting in touching post amid Derek’s sepsis struggle

It comes amid a difficult time for GMB presenter Kate Garraway after husband Derek, 54, was rushed to hospital with sepsis

Kate Garraway has shared a moving post after a "lucky" sighting during a family holiday to north Wales.

It comes amid a difficult time for the GMB presenter after husband Derek, 54, was rushed to hospital with sepsis.

Taking to Instagram, Kate shared a startling photo of the bright red supermoon, also known as the Sturgeon moon, and referred to it as "strangely moving".

She wrote: "“ that’s no moon … it’s a space station “ Am sure you are all seeing the #supermoon - sturgeon super moon I am told - strangely moving isn’t it & I am lucky enough to have a prime spot to watch it shining on the gorgeous waters of the north wales coast #nofilters #starwars."

Kate returned to ITV this morning on her show Garraway Good Stuff after taking a break from GMB and Smooth Radio to be with her family.

Earlier this month, Kate revealed that Derek nearly died after his return to hospital in July.

Co-host Richard Madeley was quick to comfort the mum-of-two upon her return to our TV screens, as he asked her how things were at home following Derek's latest stay in hospital.

Derek, a former lobbyist, contracted Covid in early 2020, and was left critically ill and hospitalised for more than a year.

Derek was hospitalised with sepsis

He returned home in April 2021 but still requires care and assistance, as he struggles to return to full health, and in recent weeks has had to return to hospital.

Speaking this morning, Kate told co-host Richard: "I dramatically disappeared and haven’t been here for three weeks now… We were on air and Derek had come out of hospital, he’s been going in and out of hospital for a while for looking at ways to tackle the damage caused by Covid back in 2020.

"But we haven’t really had any sort of medical eruptions, and then he just was really unwell.

"He’d come out of hospital the day before and (I) got a phone call from the person who was looking after him saying, ‘right, we’re really worried’, so I whizzed home, and it just sort of went ‘boom’ from there."
