Thanks to a fan, Draper’s vital medicines were returned to the couple after a follower who knew the taxi driver contacted her following her public plea.

She also recently documented how their lives have changed since he was struck by the deadly virus.

In an interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, she said: “When you almost lose someone, everything comes into focus.

“In many ways we are still learning how we are as husband and wife because so much has changed.

“It’s the same for the kids – they have to relearn what it’s like to be with their father. And of course the biggest learning curve is for poor Derek.”
