An exclusive clip from Caring For Derek aired on Good Morning Britain today showing Derek, 55, lifting his arm for the first time to embrace his son.
Watching it back while speaking to GMB hosts Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid, Kate said: “That was the first time we’d seen him activate a movement from emotion rather than in physio.
“I burst into tears watching when I saw that in the documentary.”
Kate said it was a significant moment that demonstrated the amazing progress Derek has made at home after spending a year in hospital.
She added: “We wanted to bring him home because he had a year in a ward being treated by incredible people, and he plateaued.”
