His illness left him with limited speech but he was said to be determined that the world should hear from him.
A scene from the trailer shows Derek in bed with a notepad and pen.
He says: “My name’s Derek Draper, I want you to hear my story.”
Sitting on his bed, GMB presenter Kate, 56, says: “You’ve written Covid changed everything. Do you mean for you?”
To which he responds: “Yes.”
Kate then asks: “Where’s your story going to end?”
His ordeal has already been the subject of two award-winning films, Finding Derek and Caring for Derek.
Kate, mum to their two children Darcey, 18, and Billy, 14, said the latest was very much his idea.
A source said: “Derek really wanted to make this documentary and have his say.
“It was incredibly brave of him to let cameras into his home.”
Kate Garraway: Derek’s Story airs on ITV1 on Tuesday at 9pm and will be available to stream on ITVX.
