Kate Garraway's heartbreaking reason she no longer speaks about Derek Draper documentary

ok.co.uk:

Kate Garraway has heartbreakingly revealed why she hasn't posted about her Derek Draper documentary. Kate is nominated for a National Television Award for her documentary Kate Garraway: Derek's Story, which details Derek's health battles over the past few years.

Derek sadly passed away in January after suffering multiple complications due to coronavirus. Speaking on Good Morning Britain today, she said: "I haven't posted I've been nominated yet because I got so much backlash from doing it, for people saying 'stop going on about it'.

But actually, I realise I'm letting people down." Derek sadly passed away nearly four years after he became ill. Following his death, Kate took time off to be with her family and later returned to Good Morning Britain, where she admitted it was very difficult for her to do the documentary but she felt she owed it to others who care to try and help them get more support. "One of the biggest frustrations was that he felt like a total failure, he felt like an incredible burden on the carers, on the system, on us and it didn't matter what we said, he felt that burden, and he wanted to be a contributor," she said. "Making this documentary was his way of saying 'I'm gonna speak up for the people that have supported me, the family but also those around me and the people within the care system.'" She added: "It's wonderful to have the chance to honour him and also honour the millions.
