"It makes the struggles to get the book done so worth it. To see and hear how it’s touching you all so much is just incredible and I've been slowly getting through and reading all your messages telling me how it's helping so many of you."
Her husband Derek spent more than a year in hospital after contracting coronavirus in March 2020. He was placed into an induced coma as his blood oxygen levels severely dropped. The 53-year-old has since returned to the couple's home in north London.

Kate's moving new memoir details the last 12 months during which she witnessed her husband battle COVID in intensive care. Initially told he wouldn't survive, Derek is thought to be the UK's longest-fighting patient of the virus.
"At the moment the family and I are looking for lots of little things with Derek," Kate updated Lorraine Kelly earlier this month. "He's home, we can hug him, that's a miracle in itself. We're looking for little bits of him to come more out of the consciousness, to come more back to us."
