Speaking before her husband's death, Kate stated: 'Derek's care costs more than my wage from ITV and that is before you pay for a mortgage, before you pay any family expenses, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I owe money. I can't earn adequate cash to cover my debt due to the fact that I am managing Derek's care and I can't even utilize the cash I do need to support Derek's healing, since it's going on the basics all the time.'
