September 13th 2024.
During the National Television Awards in 2024, Kate Garraway was accompanied by her daughter Darcey and son Billy as they accepted an award for a documentary about their late father, Derek Draper. As they mingled with TV stars and former Love Islanders, Kate couldn't help but feel apologetic towards Bobby Brazier after Darcey bumped into him in the queue for the bathroom. She explained on her radio show how Darcey was "over-excited" to be at the NTAs and was running around taking photos with everyone, including Love Islanders and reality stars.
Kate praised Darcey for having fun and being proud of her father, but also extended her apologies to Bobby for interrupting his bathroom break. She described him as a "poor soul" who was very kind about the situation. This incident came after Kate revealed the heart-wrenching six-word message that Billy wanted to say on stage during the acceptance speech. The family dedicated the award to Derek and all carers, but Kate shared that Billy had wanted to say, "Dad lives on in our hearts."
Reflecting on the emotional win, Kate admitted that it felt odd to be congratulated and that her children were in tears backstage. She also revealed that neither of them wanted to speak on stage, but Billy had wanted to say those six words. However, Kate was grateful that he didn't because it would have been too overwhelming for her. During the acceptance speech, Kate dedicated the award to Derek and reflected on how their family was navigating through the "firsts" without him.
Kate also took the opportunity to thank her team who helped create the documentary series and to praise carers across the country. She called for a better support system for carers and promised to continue fighting for them. The documentary, "Kate Garraway: Derek's Story," was a continuation of two previous programs about Derek's battle with Covid and Kate's struggles with the care system, both of which had also won NTA awards in previous years.
The National Television Awards can be streamed on ITVX, and Kate encouraged her fans to join the Strictly Come Dancing WhatsApp channel for all the latest news and rumors from the dance floor. She also reminded everyone to keep dancing and to turn on notifications for updates.

They would love to hear from you!
