It comes after Kate made a heartbreaking admission about her husband, who first admitted to hospital in March 2020 after contracting coronavirus and now requires round-the-clock care.

The couple have been married since 2005

"He puts huge trust in me. He just says, 'Whatever you think', which is wonderful, but I do get quite tearful about it. I think, 'God, I hope I'm worthy of that trust'. But I've got his back. That is a relationship in itself, isn't it?"

Kate and Derek have been married since 2005 and together share two children, Darcey, 16, and 12-year-old Billy.
