On stage, Kate thanked her husband Derek Draper for his “incredible fighting spirit” and spoke of the “care crisis” during her acceptance speech, praising professional and unpaid carers in the UK for the work they do.

Kate said: “Well, I really didn’t expect this. So the mercy of that is this is going to be brief, because I have very little prepared.

I want to thank all of you.” She continued: “I brought my daughter here Darcey, we managed to speak to Derek – he is back in hospital at the moment fighting on so incredibly and we’re hoping he’s coming home again. “I want to thank Derek for his incredible fighting spirit. “I want to thank ITV for being so brave to put something which actually is touched in all the incredible documentaries about care.
