Kate Garraway ‘to draw on experience with Derek for new ITV show Life Changing Homes’
Kate Garraway is reportedly going to become the host of a brand new ITV show titled Life Changing Homes after having to adapt her life as her husband Derek Draper’s battle with Covid-19.
The Good Morning Britain presenter is set to draw on her experiences of caring for Derek over the last two years, as she helps others deal with a big change in their lives.
According to reports, the mother-of-two is on the road to becoming the next Nick Knowles when she takes on the role to help others out as she works with an expert team.
“Kate is the perfect person to front a show like this given that she knows all about adapting to looking after someone since hubby Derek returned from hospital,” a source told The Sun.
They continued: “Although she’s a very different character to Nick, she’s hugely popular with viewers who see her as a down to earth figure. She really connects with the public because, like many people, she has gone through a rough time since the pandemic started.”
The insider confirmed the show filmed a pilot this Autumn, but the network has hopes it will move towards a hit series in the new year.

“But ITV have high hopes it will become a new series in the new year,” the source concluded. “They’re keen to provide a platform for Kate as her profile has soared.”
Kate’s husband Derek was seen in public for the first time last week since he contracted Covid in 2020 as they went on a family trip to watch Cinderella at Richmond Theatre in West London.
The excursion, with the couple’s sons Darcy, 15, and son Billy, 12, came after the TV presenter revealed on her social media that her husband nearly enjoyed Christmas back in hospital after what she described as a “scare”.
Alongside a picture of Darcey and Billy, with their dad, Garraway wrote in her post: “So the last 24 hours has been bumpy – a scare that meant Derek might have had to go back into hospital (thankfully sorted by a visit from nurse/carer) , he has also had one of his ultra fatigue days so has been too weak to do much other than sleep.
“I burnt the parsnips (Darcey’s favourite) & got the ‘wrong’ Lego for Billy.
“But now snuggled up around Dad’s bed watching nativity everything feels suddenly perfect Feel so grateful to have the chance to be together.
“Sending love & hoping you have found some joy today whatever your circumstances – merrychristmas all!”
