Kate Garraway appeals for ‘urgent help’ after accidentally leaving husband Derek Draper’s vital medical supplies in a cab

Kate Garraway begged for ‘urgent help’ on Friday after accidentally leaving her husband Derek Draper’s vital medical supplies in a cab. 

Derek, 54, was the UK’s longest-suffering patient of Covid after being admitted to hospital with the virus in March 2020 and is still in recovery.

And taking to Twitter, the Good Morning Britain host begged a lost property service for help after she brought her husband home from hospital amid a weekend visit.

She wrote: ‘@BC_Lostproperty help!! Have just brought derek home in a mobility black cab from hospital for a weekend visit -& have left a case with all his meds and kit in the front! 

‘The driver recognised me but may not know it’s there – please look & get in touch – need urgently!!’

Following her call for assistance, Kate’s fans were quick to come to her rescue as one follower revealed they in fact knew the driver who transported the couple and was attempting to contact him.

They penned: ‘I know the driver Kate as he mentioned he’d taken you and your husband to me this evening. I’m trying to get in touch right now.’

Other Twitter users also shared their words of support and ideas to help, with one writing: ‘Hope u get this back asap Kate. Also sorry to hear that Derek is no longer home with u all. Lots of love and best wishes for Derek xxxx.’

With another suggesting: ‘Kate. If you paid by card, the drivers details will be on the receipt or the card company should be able to trace him.’

And a third sharing: ‘Hope you get them back asap. Sorry to hear Derek is in hospital I must have missed that somehow, sending love.’

Luckily, the person who knew the driver later confirmed that he did in fact get in touch with them, with the medical supplies presumably swiftly returned to Derek and Kate.

The situation came just days after Kate opened up on finding a new way to be in love with Derek after his Covid-19 battle. 

The presenter said that her children Darcy 17, and William, 12, also have had to ‘relearn’ how to be around their dad amid his continued health struggles. 

Derek returned home from hospital in April 2021 after a year-long battle and still requires round-the-clock care in the midst of his lengthy recovery.

Speaking to Good Housekeeping, Kate said: ‘When you nearly lose someone, it certainly brings everything into sharp focus.

‘In many ways, we’re still learning how we are as man and wife, as so much has changed. 

‘It’s the same for the children – they’re having to relearn the experience of being with their dad. And, of course, the biggest learning is for poor Derek.’

Kate previously admitted that if left unaided for over three days, Derek could die.

He is bed-stricken, with Kate doing much of the caring herself as she insists she won’t ‘ever give up on him’.

Elsewhere in the chat, the presenter also spoke about trying to find the joy in the little moments in life after everything that’s happened.

She explained: ‘I try to live in the moment more than ever before. I’ll send an email and think, ‘Okay, I’ve sent the email. I can’t do anything more about that now, so I’m just going to look out the window and notice how pretty the sky is.’

‘I really try to seize those moments because when you do, you realise that life is just a collection of moments – and finding more good ones than bad ones is probably the secret to it all.’
