Derek has been battling with his health since March 2020, when he contracted Covid. Following a series of setbacks, he underwent surgery on his kidneys at the end of August, meaning the former political advisor, 54, is likely to remain in hospital for his and Kate's special day.

Heartbreakingly, this will be the second time Derek has been in hospital on their wedding anniversary.

The couple had planned to renew their wedding vows for their 15th wedding anniversary in 2020, but Derek was in hospital and unable to receive visitors on that particular day.

At the time, Kate said on GMB: "We had him on FaceTime and we raised a glass and said 'Happy Anniversary'."

Kate continued: "I'm maybe going to go through all the cards he's written to me on our anniversary. He was a prolific card writer for birthdays and things, he would always remember. And when I say 'was', it's not like he's not still here - he's still here and hopefully he'll do it again. When you look back at the stack [of cards] it makes you think."

It is believed that Derek's latest surgery was on his kidneys, and was required because his organs "suffered some pretty serious damage" as a result of Covid, with Kate rushing to be by his bedside for support, according to The Sun.
