A new documentary focusing on Derek Draper and Kate Garraway is set to air on ITV later this month, the broadcaster has revealed.

Kate Garraway: Derek's Story will air on Friday, March 26 at 9pm on ITV1.

Garraway's husband Draper fell seriously ill with Covid-19 in March 2020 and was put in a coma from which he did not wake up from until October of that year.

Despite being free of the virus, he had suffered long-lasting damage to his organs and required daily care.

He died on January 3 due to complications from his health conditions, with Good Morning Britain presenter Garraway sharing an emotional statement on social media alongside the news.

The Radio Times reports that there is very little currently known about what will feature in the new documentary.

It follows previous documentaries Finding Derek and Caring for Derek, which looked at Draper's recovery from Covid, prior to his death.

Garraway made a return to presenting on Good Morning Britain in early February, but before that made an appearance on the show talking to Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid.

Surrounded by three baskets of well wishes from colleagues and viewers, Kate said: "It is just amazing, it feels like my emotions are at 110 per cent.

"The unbelievable love that we all have for each other, we are just very very lucky.

"The love we have as a family, all of us together, that we are so connected as we always have been, having those messages makes me weep because I feel so grateful."

She added: "I want to thank everybody. A new life starts now and I do not quite know how it is going to be, but grief is not containable.

"Life has to start. We have to pick ourselves up and go on and that is what Derek did and would want me to do."
