Obviously one can only speculate as details are very thin on the ground and Garragrift's financial situation is opaque to say the least, but there's 10k for the fights, accomodation, tequilla, and 'therapy' in ye olde Mexico to consider ...

MS unfortunately runs in my family, so I've seen and heard a lot about the various treatments, both trialed/NHS approved and experimental. It's understandable that people want to seek help for degenerative diseases, and ones that have been studied for decades.
But madame has claimed it's Covid complications that had Derek in that state (don't believe it myself) and not even 'long Covid', so I'm not sure how many legitimate studies are going on into helping people in Derek's condition. Especially since millions had Covid and we've not heard of anyone else being in his state.
So I have a lot of questions about what this treatment was and how it was suitable for "Covid complications". Seems more likely to me that the poor guy had a stroke at some point and that the treatments were aimed to improve quality of life. However, she's sticking with the Covid angle because that's what's getting her in the papers.

witch you've had FOUR YEARS to make real change, and you've done nothing but line your own pockets and bask in the limelight off the back of your husband being ill.
She's literally got Derek's black book with dozens of numbers of politicians and high profile celebs who could all do a Marcus Rashford (etc) and make a stink on social media and bring about some real changes to benefit normal people, but she's not bothered her arse to make any waves at all, and I would put money on us being here this time next year with her still having done jack tit for anyone but herself.
Going on TV for a 10 minute segment and spending 9 minutes of it blarting on about your own struggles and 1 minute saying how hard it is for carers hasn't helped so far, and it's not going to help going forward either. We can all sit around talking about it. Someone with connections needs to step up and make noise - she has the platform, but she seemingly can't be bothered to use it.
duck her!

Don't bother on my account love. The level of delusion is mind-boggling, I bet even Martin Lewis, another member of the ITV Mafia, sorry 'Family', is getting slightly miffed now given as he is the self-appointed saviour of the poor and huddled masses in 'Broken Britain'.
Honestly, a more cynical and cutthroat industry than broadcasting I cannot think of, there's no doubt in my mind people working at ITV are sick to the bleeping back teeth of Kate, along with a lot of the other 'talent' there like the actress 'Lorraine Kelly' (played by Lorraine Kelly). All they essentially do is fill airtime between the advertising breaks and flog each others books and tv shows. Vile bunch of self-absorbed grossly over-paid maggots.
Give her an Oscar for acting

This is a good point. I doubt social services would have supported the Mexico trips and may have tried to stick their oar in had Derek been a client.

Darcey and Billy are now ‘young carers’
I doubt social services would have been thrilled with a camera crew wandering around willy-nilly spreading germs and god knows what else. As you say, I highly doubt someone with a compromised immune system would be encouraged to take a long-haul commercial flight ... whenever I do I almost always end-up with a sniffle or a touch of the shits (sorry, was that too much information).
She should now just shut her mouth and concentrate on her 2 kids
This is spot on. A well described, real life experience.
Well, those debts won't pay themselves I guess...
So memorable they can't even get the day it was on right.

Strike while the iron's hot? Faux empathy has a shelf life.

Wonder what his NHS doctors thought when she whisked him off to Mexico? Wonder what the opinion is re his "Long Covid" diagnosis/self-diagnosis by proxy?

Kate Garraway puts on a brave face as she heads to work at Smooth FM
Kate Garraway put on a brave face as she headed to work on Thursday after the documentary about her late husband Derek Draper was released this week.
There will be bloody hell to pay if the paps take time-out for Kate 'going to work' and miss Amanda Holden 'going to work' ... To quote the great modern philosopher 'B.A. Baracus' "I pity da fool" who gets on the wrong side of Amanda Holden.
A little late to the party here but my god does this woman irritate me and she ALWAYS has! I don't want to be nasty without good reason but everything about her including her voice has always gotten on my very last nerve. If I see her on TV then I switch over and same with smooth radio. My god has she rinsed this situation and to have the nerve to sit on national TV in a privileged position and complain you are now in debt is disgraceful when there are families on the breadline suffering and really struggling. I know a couple who are badly affected where the husband just lost his life to terminal cancer and his wife not only has to bury him but also find a new home because she cannot make the mortgage repayments without his income. She also didn't work for the last six months in order to care for him because they couldn't afford carers and both of them were claiming job seekers benefits (he was too ill to work). Overnight they lost two very good incomes and this illness has changed their lives. She needs to get with the programme and show some empathy for the real people of the nation that are struggling. She has made a fortune from his name and condition, something other's can't do because we are 'nobody's. I also think the documentary is very distasteful and does not perserve any dignity for the poor guy. I'm sure all of his friends/family/business contacts and the public want to see his downfall so openly . Did he even consent to it? Either way, selling her 1.7million pound home will easily pay off her 800k debt but you will have to come and live like the rest of us kate... within your means.

ITV’s legal bill soars to £24m amid Phillip Schofield scandal
Threefold increase in overhead comes after broadcaster spent £13m on legal settlements
I quite like Channel 4's output, but they are in the financial tit big time. ITV will always survive ... it's so bleeping evil insofar as it caters to the so-called 'Tower-Block-Tracies'. It's so cynical. Pumping-out countless 'phone-in competition's' to win money or camper-van's, aimed at people who can't afford it. It's essentially the television version of a fruit machine, a gambling-app. It's bleeping sick. Garragrift knows this and she exploits it to her own end, as do all the other moral vacuum's sucking in the money through the funnel of commercial advertising. It's a sick, sick, enterprise and there's nothing anyone can do about it.On a larger scale I can't wait for the downfall of TV. Hopefully all of these snakes will go down with it
