Elsewhere, Lorraine recently shared an emotional tweet in support of Kate Garraway, 53, after her husband Derek Draper managed to speak for the first time since being diagnosed with coronavirus back in March.

She typed on Twitter: “I continue to be in awe of @kategarraway – and her courage, strength and grace during the worst of times.
“Now at last a glimmer of hope,” Lorraine added.
Kate recently revealed her husband had uttered his first word in 214 days in hospital – “Pain”.
Derek mouthed the word as doctors manipulated his body, which a sobbing Kate watched online.
She told The Sun: “Obviously it’s so heart-wrenching that his first word was ‘pain’, but it is a huge breakthrough because it means he has been able to connect the feeling in his body to his brain and mouth.”
