Derek's Story: Kate Garraway details Derek's illness and death Good Morning Britain 's Kate Garraway has said she hopes her documentary about the last year of her husband Derek Draper's life brings some "focus" to carers and their role. The broadcaster has landed a third nomination in the best authored documentary category at the National Television Awards (NTAs) for Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story. Her Good Morning Britain colleagues congratulated her on her latest nomination on Tuesday's show (August 20) and entertainment presenter Richard Arnold pointed out it will be a hat-trick if she takes home the gong.
“It will be a hat-trick. Apparently, you never win three. But I would love it to do well.
I would love people to recognise it, because it was Derek’s story, and also it was really all about carers, unpaid and paid, and I’d like them to get some focus, really,” she admitted. This latest documentary was followed by two other programmes about Derek's battle with Covid and her struggles navigating the care system. Both picked up NTAs in the same category in 2021 and 2022.
