Kate Garraway has been showered with messages of support following a hateful comment from a troll about the Finding Derek documentary.
The Good Morning Britain presenter has faced a hellish year after her husband Derek Draper, 53, spent the last 12 months in hospital fighting for his life after his coronavirus diagnosis.
He uttered his first words in October, though Kate was left devastated as he had mouthed the word "pain" when doctors had been moving his body and asked whether it hurt.
And although Derek is now free of the deadly bug, the disease has wreaked havoc on his body as he continues to fight for his life while Kate picks up the pieces.
As Derek recovers from his poorly condition, Kate in the meantime filmed a powerful yet poignant documentary for ITV about her husband's journey.
In the documentary, Kate shared personal footage she filmed herself as Derek underwent rehab.
But as countless fans rushed to share a sweet message of support for the mum-of-two during this difficult time, one troll did the opposite and slammed her decision to film the doc.

"You couldn’t be more wrong with your comment. She is a true inspiration," wrote one fan, before another penned: "If you can be anything #BeKind I hope Derek’s children can’t read your silly negativity."
