The documentary was a follow-up to Kate Garraway: Finding Derek
October 13, 2022 - 21:46 BST Emmy Griffiths Kate Garraway was overcome with emotion at the National Television Awards after receiving the award for Authored Documentary for Caring for Derek, the follow-up documentary to Finding Derek, which received a NTA back in 2021.
"I want to thank Derek for his incredible fighting spirit, I want to think ITV for being so great to put something that is touched in all the incredible docuemtnarties, we have a crisis of care in this country, we don't have a crisis of love," she finished. Previously writing about why she made another documentary about her husband – who has suffered life-changing health problems after contracting COVID in March 2020, she explained:"The reason we made the documentary was to highlight carers, professional carers, and carers who are doing it for love and the tough challenges that that involves."As much as you don't begrudge doing it, it's very hard.
The TV personality recently revealed that Derek is back in hospital after developing sepsis again, two months after he initially contracted it back in August. Writing for the Sun on the eve of the awards to highlight the important role that carers have, Kate admitted:"Derek is back in hospital after developing sepsis that again threatened his life and we are again fighting to get him home, but I remain constantly inspired by those around him - not just for their expertise but for their loving care."
