PETER Andre has today reached out to Kate Garraway after her husband Derek Draper was rushed back to hospital.
It comes after Kate, 55, revealed she got a phone call on air at Good Morning Britain to say Derek, 54, was “really unwell”.
He was rushed to A&E with sepsis over two weeks ago after a raft of serious health issues since he contracted Covid in 2020.
Today kind-hearted Pete, 49, said his heart goes out to Kate following Derek’s health set-back.
The singer’s message came after Kate confirmed Derek was back in hospital after he took an “unexpected and frightening turn for the worse”.
Speaking in his OK! Magazine column this week, Peter said: “I am sending my best wishes to Kate Garraway after she revealed her husband Derek Draper nearly died of sepsis.

“I’ve known Kate for a while and she is one of the kindest and loveliest people you will ever come across.
“It still frustrates me so much when I think about all the people who said Covid wasn’t real when you see what has happened to Derek.”

“Derek came out of hospital three weeks ago and we hadn’t had any medical eruptions,” she said. “Then we were on air and I got a phone call from the person looking after him saying, ‘We’re really worried’.”
He was taken to A&E where doctors found his kidneys were infected.
It is understood that Derek is still in hospital but out of intensive care.
Kate said: “The sepsis is under control. One kidney is looking really good, just need to look at the other one.
“We’re back on the right side of it now.”
