Speaking before her partner's death, Kate said: 'Derek's care expenses more than my income from ITV which is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any family bills, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I am in debt. I can't earn adequate money to cover my financial obligation due to the fact that I am handling Derek's care and I can't even use the cash I do have to support Derek's recovery, because it's going on the fundamentals all the time.'

In May last year, Kate openly revealed she's turned to withdrawing cash from her pension pot to pay the huge bills throughout a discussion about the NHS and private care on GMB.
