Kate Garraway on life without Derek
In an interview last February, Kate spoke about what life looks like following the death of Derek.
According to Kate, she said she was trying to focus on “seizing all the good and new that life throws at you”, as well as “the sad”. Not just for her, but for children Darcey and Billy too.
In 2024, Kate travelled between the UK and United Arab Emirates for an exciting new opportunity. She was hosting a new podcast and YouTube series about Dubai, called DXB Unheard.
Kate reveals ‘sadness’
However, despite Kate broadening her horizons and experiencing the pros of travelling, she noted there is some sadness.
“It’s sad in a way, because it’s a time that Derek and I always said we’d travel together and do more grown-up things,” she told Hello!.
“We used to love travelling and holidays,” the TV legend added.
Kate then shared that although this time in her life is “terrifying”, she is still looking to the future and “the adventure of it”.
Kate explained: “Life has been very timetabled for the last five years, taking care of Derek. I’m thinking, well, I don’t know what’s next, but rather than be terrified, try to enjoy it.”
