Kate Garraway may sell £4million home after spending thousands caring for Derek Draper
Good Morning Britain present Kate Garraway is reported to be considering selling the £4million home where she nursed husband Derek Draper and lived with their children after saying she’d been hit hard financially in the last few years
Kate Garraway is facing new anguish as she may have to sell the £4million home she cared for her husband Derek Draper in, and still lives with their children, after saying things were ‘tough financially.’
Friends of the Good Morning Britain presenter says she is considering putting her north London home on the market after being ‘wiped out’ with the cost of caring for Derek following his covid diagnosis
After a gruelling three year battle with the effects of the virus, Derek was in and out of hospital for three years and received round the clock care. Kate also funded two trips to Mexico where her husband underwent pioneering treatment. The presenter also adapted their home so he was able to return home from hospital. Former political lobbyist Derek died earlier this month at the age of 56 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The couple’s psychotherapy company Astra Aspera shut with £184,000 debts in 2022 landing Kate with a £716,000 tax bill.
A friend said: “It is so sad for Kate. Not only has she had to watch her beloved husband suffer for almost four years but her financial worries have never been far away from her thoughts.
“It has cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to look after Derek and do everything she could to get him better but it’s left her struggling,” they shared in the Mail on Sunday. “The house is about all she has left financially and she is now facing up to the fact it might have to be sold. It’s where she and Derek were so happy and also where her two children grew up – but bills are bills and they have to be paid. It’s dreadful for Kate.”
