Kate Garraway broke her toe in intensive care
The 'Good Morning Britain' presenter has been wearing trainers under her desk while co-hosting the ITV show of late, and revealed she suffered the injury inside a hospital.
Speaking on the show, she said: "I whacked my foot on one of those tables. I was in absolute agony.
"But everyone around me was so ill, I had to pretend, 'No, I’m fine!' Because I felt so guilty.
"So I said nothing and went to the toilet and cried."
Kate's husband Derek Draper has been back in hospital recently.
He was struck down with coronavirus in 2020 and spent 13 months in hospital, mostly in intensive care, before being allowed home, where he has been receiving 24/7 care. The virus inflicted lasting damage to his organs.
Last month, it was reported the 54-year-old former political advisor had been taken into hospital for a "serious medical procedure".
A source said at the time: "This is another hammer blow for poor Derek.
“He is giving the fight against COVID his absolute all, but his kidneys have suffered some pretty serious damage.
"Doctors explained there was no alternative but to operate. Of course, Kate and the family are worried but she’s been reassured the procedure itself is routine.
“Everyone has everything crossed, and Kate is being her usual stoical self and keeping everything running, business as usual, on the home front."
Kate - who has been married to Derek since 2005 and has kids Darcey, 16, and Billy, 13, with him - recently admitted she has wondered how much her of her "fight” to keep her husband alive is "about herself".
Speaking to Hollie Battersbee - who previously fought to keep her 12-year-old son Archie alive after a court appeal to keep his life support turned on was rejected, and he later died after it was switched off - Kate said: "I’ve got a couple of things to ask you that are a little bit based from my own experience, which I want to stress, particularly for Derek's family who might be watching, is very different from yours.
"Mercifully I've not had to have the conversations with doctors about discussions of turning off the life support machines, and Derek's brain stem has never been affected in the way that poor Archie's had.
"But I have had to have conversations in my own head with myself sometimes when Derek was in a coma and in a state of minimum consciousness, about how much my frenzy to fight for him and to check every possible option was about me and my needs and how much was about him."
