GMB’s Kate Garraway ‘draws comfort’ from fans following Derek Draper illness

Richard has joined Lottie Tomlinson, Malin Andersson, and actress Davinia in Sue Ryder’s digital campaign about grief.

Speaking about losing his dad, Richard recalled: “About four years ago he passed away very suddenly. So, he was in very good health, he just had a nice Sunday lunch and then the last thing he said to my mum was, ‘thanks for my dinner’.

“And then the following Monday he just didn’t wake up, which of course was a dreadful, dreadful shock to Mum.”

“So, over the last four years, like anyone who’s experienced grief, this is as close to home as it ever got,” he added.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
