The Good Morning Britain star, 56, appeared on the ITV chat show to reveal she has got a new documentary and book following the success of her past award-winning documentaries Finding Derek and Caring For Derek.

Kate's husband Derek, 55, returned home in April 2021 after spending a year in hospital fighting for his life after contracting Coronavirus in 2020, which has since left him battling a number of ongoing health issues.

Sharing an update on her husband during Thursday's show, Kate revealed that their son Billy, 13, was recently left in tears after Derek was able to interact with him.They also have daughter Darcey, 17.

She said: "What we've been trying to do is and we've got some positive things with Derek, that even though the struggles are still the same, I took a decision in January and over Christmas. "I thought: 'Right, we can't just keep trying to get rid of the bad stuff, we've got to fill our days with loads of good stuff.' "The specialists were keen for us to do it as well and we could take him out on walks, and we had an extraordinary moment, which I never thought would happen, where we managed to get him to see Elton John, who has been amazing throughout the whole thing. "We got him there and his team were brilliant, the O2 were brilliant, the carers came with me, were amazing, the nurses and it took months of planning. "Then, an hour before, he was so unwell and I said: 'I don't think we can do this.' And then Darcey said: 'Ask him.' and I said [to Derek]: 'Can we do this because you're going to be floored tomorrow?' and he said: 'Why not?
