Tuesday 5 July 2022 10:18 AM Kate Garraway reveals husband Derek Draper's lost medical supplies have been ... trends now

Kate Garraway thanked her fans for tracking down husband Derek Draper's medical supplies after she begged for 'urgent help' in retrieving them.  

Derek, 54, was the UK's longest-suffering patient of Covid after being admitted to hospital with the virus in March 2020 and is still in recovery. 

While he was released from hospital last year he still requires round the clock care and daily medication - which Kate revealed on Friday she had accidentally left in the back of a taxi. 

Thankfully, after appealing for help on Twitter, Kate was able to track down the driver, sharing on Sunday: 'It’s been returned! Thanks to all who reached out - the message got to driver lovely Robert who has returned it - phew and thanks to all. #happysundayeveryone.' 

Kate's campaign started on Friday when she tweeted: '@BC_Lostproperty help!! Have just brought derek home in a mobility black cab from hospital for a weekend visit -& have left a case with all his meds and kit in the front! 

'The driver recognised me but may not know it’s there - please look & get in touch - need urgently!!'

Following her call for assistance, Kate's fans were quick to come to her rescue as one follower revealed they in fact knew the driver who transported the couple and was attempting to contact him.

They penned: 'I know the driver Kate as he mentioned he'd taken you and your husband to me this evening. I’m trying to get in touch right now.' 

Other Twitter users also shared their words of support and ideas to help, with one writing: 'Hope u get this back asap Kate. Also sorry to hear that Derek is no longer home with u all. Lots of love and best wishes for Derek xxxx.'
