In an update on social media, Garraway55 years old, explains her recent three-week absence from TV and radio.

“Derek’s health took an unexpected and frightening turn, with the worse sending him back into intensive care and fighting for his life – again,” she wrote.

But thanks to “the amazing NHS team and his own incredible energy and spirit, Derek – please, thank God – is right back to being,” she added.

Garraway said she is looking forward to broadcasting again and “hopes to celebrate” victory for the Lions team at Euro 2022.

She also thanked everyone for “all of your messages of support”, saying they “really mean to the world to me and my family”.

Garraway and Draper married in 2005 and have two children, Darcey and Billy.

She told Mail On Sunday’s You magazine: “I’m not sure we’re out of love yet, but I think a new path is emerging, a new way to love.

“He put a lot of faith in me. He just said, ‘Whatever you think’, which is great, but I’m pretty tearful about it. I thought, ‘God, I hope. I hope I deserve that trust. “

“But I got him back. It’s a relationship by itself, isn’t it?”
