GMB's Kate Garraway's home with husband is a world of fun

Kate Garraway's husband Derek Draper was sadly hospitalised with COVID-19 in March 2020, and while he is now free of the virus, he remains in a critical condition and is yet to return home. Meanwhile, Kate and her two children Darcey and Billy have been staying at their family house in north London.

Kate invited HELLO! inside in July 2020, as she expressed her gratitude for the property as a sanctuary during Derek's illness. 

The family have been planting fruit and vegetables together, including a strawberry plant next to Derek's favourite chair. Gardening together has also provided them with the opportunity to discuss their feelings as well as serve as a distraction from their worries.

Previously, Kate has also shared glimpses of several other areas of the home, and from teepees in the garden to nerf gun games arenas, it's a world of fun for the children. Take a tour… 

Kate told HELLO! the garden was one of the selling points of the property for them, explaining: "We bought this house because of the garden. I love gardening and Derek likes being in the garden and giving instructions. When we first moved in, it was covered in brambles, but there were also these yellow irises he adores."

Kate had an incredible teepee installed in the garden for son Billy's birthday. She enlisted the help of star Myleene Klass and captioned the post: "So I was super nervous about Bill’s birthday this year - we usually have a family do with grandparents & a few of his friends but obviously this was not possible. So we are seeing grandparents separately but wanted to do something for him & his mates in the garden.

"Derek is so brilliant at this, organising treasure hunts & boys own adventures so mentioned to @myleeneklass really didn’t want to let Bill down & did she know anyone with a tent we could borrow in case it was wet. Little did I know what I was unleashing! She is in her element! At 8.30 this morning she arrived with Apollo in tow to supervise the brilliant @sleepyteepeeuk to set up the most amazing jungle camp ever!!!"

"When you wake up to a full blown nerf battle…" Kate captioned this photo, which showed how her entire staircase and halls had been taken over by her children's game, with pillows and a duvet piled up on the stairs which are painted white and are covered with a grey striped carpet runner.

An Instagram photo previously shared by Kate shared a look inside her bedroom, which features a teal-coloured statement wall and wooden bed frame. A gold-framed artwork hangs above the bed, while Kate was presented with a tray topped with a vase of flowers and Diptyque candle as she was treated to a relaxing Mother's Day breakfast in bed. 

The Good Morning Britain presenter stunned her fans when she shared a look at the mess she had created in her bedroom one day, with an array of clothes and beauty products strewn all over the floor.

In September, the GMB host shared a picture of some gorgeous flowers, bought for her by her husband. The picture also showed a glossy white kitchen table and an arty picture of son, William, on the wall. Cute!

In the summer, Kate posted this picture of her two children, Darcey and Billy (as they affectionately call him) on his tenth birthday. The picture shows the youngsters in their spacious and picturesque garden complete with a trampoline in the corner, and a birthday banner for Billy.

Kate borrowed her children's hot water bottles on the coldest night of the winter, and shared a photo of the cosy toys lined up on her bed, writing: "Coldest night of the year - good excuse to steal the kid's cuddly hot water bottles."

Kate got into the festive spirit by trimming her huge Christmas tree with baubles and ornaments in a red, gold and green colour scheme – and donned a Christmas jumper to match.

Kate and her children made banners especially to support the England football team during the 2018 World Cup, and shared a peek at their designs laid out across the fluffy grey rug that sits on wooden flooring in the living room.

The mum-of-two shared a look inside her kitchen when she made pancakes for Shrove Tuesday, showing her white worktops lined with baking equipment, including a blue stand mixer.

Kate previously took the opportunity to cook a romantic Valentine's Day dinner for her husband, and created a romantic atmosphere in her dining room with a red heart-shaped light and a vase filled with red roses.

The hallway of Kate's home has wooden parquet flooring and a striped carpet running up the stairs. Ahead of Christmas they trimmed the stairs with a garland, and two pug ornaments were given Santa hats.

Kate showed the disarray in her living room after having a play day with her children during the school holidays. "Serious #nerf battles this afternoon - not sure who won - but house tidiness definitely lost...#schoolholidays #memories #whendoestermstartagain?!" she captioned the photo.
