Elton John’s song Skyline Pigeon was heard playing over the video as Kate, dressed in a sequinned dress, was pulled in close by Derek on the dancefloor.
Myleene first shared the video back in 2020, after Kate shared an update on Derek’s battle with coronavirus at the time.
She wrote over the clip: “@kategarraway, your GMB interview had me tears. You are being so incredibly brave. Till we do this again, you and Derek burning up the dance floor, me and Sim lining up the drinks….”

The throwback clip comes as the family said their final goodbyes to Derek in the same church where he and Kate got married nearly 20 years ago.
The funeral came almost a month after Derek passed away following a four-year struggle with Covid-19.
Kate and Derek’s daughter Darcey not only helped carry her dad’s coffin into the church but also left a handwritten note next to some flowers outside. Her brother also penned a touching tribute.

Kate and her kids were supported by her ITV co-stars, including Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard, at the funeral. Elton John, who became a close friend to Kate and Derek, was also there. Kate even invited members of the press to attend.
Derek fell seriously ill during the early part of the pandemic in March 2020 and spent 13 months in hospital before he was discharged.
He passed away on January 3 aged 56 after suffering long-lasting symptoms from coronavirus.

Kate announced the sad news of her husband’s passing in a statement shared to social media on 5 January.
In the sad statement, she explained that Derek had suffered a cardiac arrest in December and due to the “damage inflicted by Covid”, had led to further complications for the dad-of-two.
The mum-of-two praised her and Derek’s two children for their support and how they navigated their dad suddenly falling ill.
