Derek Draper had a five-word message for Kate Garraway as he expressed why he wanted to participate in a new ITV documentary about his health before his death.

The former political lobbyist died aged 56 on 3 January from a cardiac arrest after having health complications after contracting Covid in 2020.

On Thursday (14 March) the Good Morning Britain presenter revealed how Draper explained why he wanted the pair to make a new documentary in the last year of his life.

"I want to be heard," Garraway said he told her.

Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story will air on ITV1 at 9pm on 26 March.

OPINION - World War Three imminent? No, but the West is about to sell out Ukraine in a world-historic betrayal
As Vladimir Putin threatens nuclear escalation and Joe Biden promises to send more military equipment to Ukraine, there are warnings of “World War Three” on all sides. The present tensions are mostly a choreographed show of strength – in Washington and Moscow – to fill the time before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Having so often delayed the despatch of weapons or dithered over the use to which they might be put by Volodymyr Zelensky, Biden seeks to salvage some personal honour before he creeps from office and to give the Ukrainian president marginally more negotiating power when the talks begin.
