The star detailed her hearing loss

Speaking on the Boots Taboo Talk podcast, Kaye explained how her hearing loss made her feel like she "wasn't functioning" and led her to question if she could carry on with her career.

Speaking of when her hearing first became an issue, Kaye said: "My kids were very impatient with me, I'd ask them to repeat things and they'd get very irritated.

"It started to get to me, I felt like a bit of a joke, I wasn't hearing properly but I wasn't getting it looked at and it was because of vanity because there's a negative connotation with age."

She went on to say: "I just wasn't functioning. One day I was hosting a conference and there was a Q&A and the audience member had a mic, but I couldn't hear him. I felt really vulnerable, I wondered 'Am I going to be able to do this anymore?'"
