The 'Good Morning Britain' presenter's husband Derek Draper recently returned home after months in hospital following a devastating battle with COVID-19 and she has turned to her garden to give her "hope" and is looking forward to the day Derek can join her outside.
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: "Happy @gardendayuk ! My garden is definitely my happy place & even though it’s not big or fancy I love being out there even if the weather isn’t perfect , because just being outside listening to the rain fall and the wind blow through the leaves is like therapy for me. I can’t wait for Derek to get stronger so can get him outside too as know it’ll be good for him.
"Admittedly he may not want to wear a gorgeous blossom crown like me ! But I am loving it & going to wear it all day to celebrate #gardendayUK. I would love to hear how you are celebrating your outside space today & what it means to you generally so do share! #thepowerofhope (sic)"
Meanwhile, Kate had previously admitted she feared at one point that Derek may never remember her and their kids, Darcey, 15 and Billy, 11.
She said: "For me, I just dreaded he wouldn't remember us, which is rather selfish of me actually. Because I don't know whether he would've been in a better or worse position. At one point we thought we might be caring for him at home and we'd be strangers. And that's terrifying for him, and strange for us. But he definitely knows us, and he definitely is pleased to be home, and we're so glad to have him home."
