Kate, 54, added on Good Morning Britain: ‘I’m quite generous to the government generally about the fact that they were looking at the situation and thinking, what is going to be the most harmful?
‘If as he said, Boris Johnson was more obsessed with the economy, maybe he genuinely believed that was the biggest risk but it doesn’t mean to say that things like planning for the pandemic, planning for the lockdown, that should have been something that was in place, not just from Boris Johnson’s perspective or Matt Hancock’s perspective, but as a society, that we haven’t got those things in place.’
Derek, 53, was hospitalised last March and was able to return home this year.
Explaining how he’s doing now, Kate told Andrew Marr: ‘Look, he’s devastated by Covid.

‘He can’t really move, his communication is very minimal. There are moments when there’s up, in those moments you feel you know he’s in there. He has a lot of memory.
‘But the accessing of it is very limited. So how is he? He’s a long way from the Derek Draper that you know Andrew, but he’s home and he’s alive and he’s asleep now.’
However, she has recalled the positive moments, including when Derek recently wished her a happy birthday.
‘He’s home, we can hug him. That’s a miracle in itself,’ Kate said on Lorraine.
She added: ‘Last night when I was tucking him in, I said: “It’s my birthday tomorrow.” He looked a bit worried and I said: “Oh don’t worry, I’m not expecting anything. My birthday gift is you being home.”’
Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV.
