Ben Shephard praises ‘incredibly brave’ GMB co-star Kate Garraway

OHMYGOSSIP — Ben Shephard has praised Kate Garraway as “incredibly brave”.
The 47-year-old star – who hosts ‘Good Morning Britain’ alongside the 55-year-old TV presenter – explained there are “no words” to express how much he admires his co-star as she continues to deal with her husband Derek Draper’s ongoing battle with the after-effects of COVID-19, after his body was ravaged by the virus.
He said: “There are no words to express by admiration for how Kate is continuing to manage a heartbreaking situation for her and her family. Not only looking after her children but now her husband Derek as well, and juggling a career because there are bills to pay, especially for his ongoing care. She’s incredibly brave to share her journey to help others.”
Kate – whose husband has been in need of round-the-clock care since he contracted the virus in March 2020 – won a National Television Award for her documentary ‘Finding Derek’, about his recovery, before releasing a follow-up film, ‘Caring for Derek’.
Ben went on to praise his fellow presenter for sharing her “important” journey as she explores the social care system.
He told the Metro newspaper’s SixtySeconds column: “She’s learning about the social care system and how broken it is and if she can make some steps to alleviate the pain for others then it’s hugely important, albeit inviting cameras into their house and sharing the most personal issues they are dealing with.”
The ‘Tipping Point’ host added that Kate – who has 16-year-old daughter Darcey as well as son Bill, 12, with Derek – is “brilliant” at what she does and claimed her story is about a “changed relationship.”
He added: “At the heart of it, it’s about two people it’s about two people who fall in love and have a family and then suddenly, like a lot of people, something happened that changed the course of that relationship. People have come to understand just how brilliant Kate is at what she does.”
