Kate shared an update about her son, Billy (Image: Getty) Kate Garraway was determined not to let the rainy British weather dampen her spirits this summer as she shared a family update. The Good Morning Britain presenter is currently navigating life after losing her husband, Derek Draper, earlier in the year. Posting to Instagram , the ITV star shared that she had visited Disney in Florida back in July with her 14-year-old son, Billy, and some friends from her management team.
Kate also has daughter Darcey, 18, although she appeared to not be on the trip to America. She shared a snap wearing some sparkly Minnie Mouse ears as she sipped on an iced coffee before posing with Billy. Captioning the sweet post, Kate, 57, wrote: "Oh gawd it looks like the summer is slipping through our fingers today with #stormlillian descending - so am trying to stay in the summer vibe by indulging in our holiday snaps from July.
Two incredible days in @waltdisneyworld in Florida with my incredible friends from @whitemanagement. "I am a total coward on any ride - but it doesn’t matter does it - just being there soaking up the vibe is magical. Well they do call it the #magickingdom .
And seeing Billy laughing with his friends was like winning the lottery." function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.

" The financial revelation came just over a month after she admitted she was in dire financial circumstances following her husband's health issues. Speaking in her most recent documentary Derek's story she confessed that her huge ITV salary didn't cover all the expenses his illness had generated. "Derek's care costs more than my salary from ITV and that's before you pay for a mortgage , before you pay for any household bills, before you pay for anything for the kids," she explained.
"So we're at a crunch point. I am in debt and I can't earn enough money to cover my debt because I'm managing Derek's care. And I can't even use the money I do have to support Derek's recovery because it's going on the basics all the time.

Kate responded: "Listen, I'm not going to pretend that I'm poorly paid, I have an incredible job that I love which is well paid, but it's not enough." Derek died in January after battling long- Covid for four years and suffering a cardiac arrest at the end of last year.
