Speaking before her hubby's death, Kate said: 'Derek's care costs more than my wage from ITV and that is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any home expenses, before you spend for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.
'I owe money. I can't make enough money to cover my financial obligation because I am handling Derek's care and I can't even use the money I do need to support Derek's healing, because it's going on the all the time.'

Addressing the most recent HMRC filing, Kate's spokesperson informed MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'shocked' TV star 'doesn't recognise these figures' and touches with HMRC to ensure she 'honours what is required'.
In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'distressing' chest pains after suffering extreme stress while partner Derek was in recovery
Their declaration checked out: 'Kate has actually fulfilled all that the liquidators of Derek's company have actually requested and more over the past four years.
'She does not recognise these figures and is stunned that it's existing in this method by them.
