A DOCTOR has revealed why Covid has made Kate Garraway\u2019s husband so ill – and the reason why his severe case is so important.<\/p>\n
Derek Draper, 56, who was struck down with Covid in 2020, had a huge heart attack last Monday.<\/p>\n

Brave Kate has cancelled all TV and radio work to keep a 24-7 vigil, taking an indefinite leave of absence from presenting.<\/p>\n
Derek was first rushed to hospital with Covid in March 2020.<\/p>\n
After falling into a coma and being put on a ventilator, he spent 13 months in hospital \u2014 making him Britain\u2019s longest-suffering coronavirus victim.<\/p>\n
He has since battled a variety of health problems. The virus caused brain inflammation, kidney failure, and liver and pancreas damage.<\/p>\n
