Kate Garraway prepares to make GMB return after husband Derek's death
ITV have shown a devastatingly emotional trailer as Kate Garraway prepares to return to Good Morning Britain.
Kate will return to the ITV breakfast show for the first time tomorrow since the death of her husband Derek Draper. Derek passed away a few weeks' back following a long battle with the complications from coronavirus.
The much-loved presenter will then return to hosting duties on the show on Thursday, where she will be joined by her friend Ben Shephard. Ben has been really supportive of Kate throughout the last few years and was also a great friend of Derek's too.
In a new trailer, old images are shown of Kate with her husband Derek, as the voice over confirms she will be back on Monday to talk about Derek publicly for the first time since his tragic death.
Kate and Derek with their kids Billy and Darcey (ITV)Susanna Reid previously read out a big statement from Kate following Derek's death, which was shared with Good Morning Britain viewers. In the sad statement, Kate asked fans to forgive her for taking some time away from the show. In the lengthy address, she spoke Kate's words, which read: "Hello everyone. Thank you so much for all the wonderful messages that you have sent me. It really does mean so much to me, Darcey, Billy and all of Derek’s family. They are an extraordinary comfort, and I am so lucky to feel connected to you all through these messages at this time when the raw pain of grief can feel so isolating.

"And that is the wonderful thing, isn’t it, about our Good Morning Britain family? That all of us on the team and all of you watching at home are connected, supporting each other through the challenges of life, knowing that we can also laugh at the fun and joys together that we shared too. I am certain that the support has sustained us through these tough nearly four years, motivating us to fight on for each other and for those that can’t fight for themselves, and it will sustain us to continue that fight in the weeks and months and years to come," before promising she would be back on the show soon.
She added: "I look forward to waking up with you very soon again on Good Morning Britain, to celebrate life in all its wonder and challenge again. I hope you forgive me for taking some time to be at home. My family is so grateful that we could be with our dearest Derek in his final moments, something not all get to share. Maybe you too are going through grief yourself or have done in the past. I send love and support to you too. We are taking time to heal ourselves now that Darcey and Billy know their Daddy is at peace and free from pain and struggle. I shall be thinking of you all until we are reunited very soon. In the meantime, hug your loved ones close. All my love, Kate."
