Kate Garraway has revealed that she has been able to FaceTime her husband Derek Draper, who remains in intensive care with coronavirus.
The 52-year-old has now been in ICU for more than six weeks after contracting COVID-19 and is not thought to be conscious.
Nevertheless the Good Morning Britain host calls her husband daily to speak to him and, giving a fresh update on his condition on Thursday, she revealed that she is now also able to see him through FaceTime.
"So our #nhsclap was a little different tonight," she wrote on Instagram. "We still clapped & cheered as much as ever but I couldn't film on my phone as had Derek on FaceTime throughout!
"Of course we can't KNOW but I believe he can hear us & thought at least the incredible @nhs team's looking after him would hear a fraction of our gratitude."
More than 230,000 people have now tested positive for coronavirus in the UK.
