Good Morning Britain host Kate Garraway provided an update on her husband Derek Draper's condition, revealing that he has been well enough to attend an event.The ITV presenter, aged 56, shared with viewers that her husband was invited to former Labour minister Lord Peter Mandelson's wedding over the weekend.

On today's Good Morning Britain, she expressed her gratitude to Peter and his husband and long-time partner, Reinaldo, for being accommodating to Derek's needs, saying that it 'meant the world to him.' Peter said: "It was a lovely, lovely wedding and we are very happy. "And Kate, very pleased, if you don't mind me saying so, that Derek was there. "Because Derek worked for me as my parliamentary aide back in 1992 when I was first elected." Kate responded: "You were very kind because it was a massive day for you and it took a lot of organisation to get him there.

Peter commented: "Well, Reinaldo was insistent we had him there, and it was great to have him there at the ceremony and our little party later." Derek nearly lost his life in a lengthy battle with Covid-19, which left him wheelchair-bound and requiring round-the-clock care.

Kate previously shared that Derek became trapped in a "no man's land" as he encountered difficulties passing through border control at London Heathrow Airport due to his disabilities.
