    To be there for Derek, Kate has cancelled all upcoming TV and radio work. His friends and family are said to be keeping a vigil at his side.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Derek contracted Covid-19 in 2020 and ended up in a medically induced coma. In total, the 56-year-old spent 13 months in hospital with 24-hour care before being able to go back home.<\/p>\n

    He has since been left with long-lasting organ damages and has been re-admitted to hospital several times over the past three years. Kate, who married Derek in 2005, has become his full-time carer.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    But last week, almost four years after he first became ill with Covid, Derek was rushed to hospital after suffering a "massive heart attack." A source at the time told The Mirror how has was left fighting for his life all over again and it came as a "shock" after doing so well.<\/p>\n

    It comes after Kate's radio co-host issued an update on Derek. Smooth FM Breakfast presenter Jenni Falconer issued a concerning update to listeners on Tuesday morning (December 19). <\/p>\n
