Speaking before her partner's death, Kate said: 'Derek's care expenses more than my wage from ITV which is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any home costs, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I am in debt. I can't earn enough cash to cover my debt because I am handling Derek's care and I can't even use the cash I do have to support Derek's healing, due to the fact that it's going on the essentials all the time.'
