'The next second I realise he no longer requires that care. There is a moment of relief - that I did not let him down - before a tsunami of sadness hits.

In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'agonizing' chest pains after suffering severe tension while partner Derek remained in recovery.
She needed medical support of her own after being woken by the 2am alarm she sets each night for Good Morning Britain - and finding she couldn't transfer to turn it off.
In her book, The Strength Of Love, the presenter explained how she then felt a 'searing discomfort' in her chest and was right away taken to the nearest A&E for tests.
