Kate Garraway opened up on how she was overcome with emotion following her last conversation with Fiona Phillips. TV presenter Fiona, 62, this week revealed she had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease last year after suffering from brain fog and anxiety - which had left her feeling a ‘shadow of herself’.The former GMTV star at first thought the symptoms she was experiencing were down to the menopause - but further tests discovered that she was suffering from the heartbreaking condition.

Now Kate, 56, has been reflecting on the last conversation she had with Fiona a few weeks ago - which focussed on Kate’s husband Derek Draper.

Derek, 55, spent 13 months in hospital fighting for his life after contracting Covid-19 in 2020 and still needs round-the-clock care.

Speaking on Thursday's Good Morning Britain, Kate said: "The last conversation I had with her, which was only a few weeks ago, what she was doing was talking to me about Derek – full of love for Derek, very close to Derek – and thinking about me dealing with Derek. "Of course, I now think that she must have had in her mind that she would come to a place where Martin and her sons were going to be taking care of her." She added: "It makes me feel emotional thinking about [how] that must have been going through her mind and still is." Earlier this week, Fiona opened up on her diagnosis in an interview with The Mirror, where she works as a columnist.
