'The next second I realise he no longer requires that care. There is a moment of relief - that I did not let him down - before a tsunami of unhappiness hits.

'Caring takes control of your whole life. You don't begrudge it, however you suffer due to the fact that of it.'

In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'distressing' chest pains after suffering severe while hubby Derek remained in healing.

She described: 'I still wake up in the middle of the night panicking that I have not provided him his medication'

The company, which was jointly managed by Kate, went bust owing hundreds of thousands of pounds to creditors, consisting of a big costs to HMRC.

Kate has been hectic promoting her various work jobs as her financial obligations tower above her but it's not the first time the broadcaster has had to handle monetary problems.

In 2012, two other firms collectively managed by Derek and Kate went bust.

Fulfill Media Ltd had financial obligations totalling ₤ 922,807, which included ₤ 88,486 owed to HMRC, ₤ 90,882 to trade lenders, and ₤ 462,808 in '3rd party loans'.

In January 2024, it was reported that Kate may have to sell the home to repay her present financial obligations with one source stating: 'It has cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to care for Derek and do whatever she might to get him much better however it's left her having a hard time.'

But hard-working Kate has actually been on a self-promotion blitz in the middle of her newest monetary woes.

Alongside her regular GMB work, the star plugged her Smooth Radio reveal today, revealing she was 'chuffed' that the lunch break program now reached 2.8 million listeners.

She has actually also been teasing her finalizing in possibly among the most awaited TV programs of year - Celebrity Traitors.

Together with the likes of Stephen Fry, Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross Kate headed to Scotland a few weeks ago to movie the spin off of the smash hit BBC series.

Meanwhile, in February she was revealed as the host of a new Dubai-set podcast and YouTube series - DXB Unheard.

Each of the 8 episodes, which are released weekly, feature interviews with Emiratis and Dubai citizens 'who have left an indelible mark on the city.'

She recorded the series last year and has confessed that she discovered it 'interesting' to learn more about how people lived their lives at a time when she was considering her future plans.

Kate formerly exposed that Derek's ₤ 16,000-a-month care costs eclipsed her GMB income, confessing in a 2023 interview that she couldn't even pay for to have the heating on in October.

Kate Garraway was hospitalised with 'excruciating' chest pains due to stress amidst husband Derek Draper's COVID-19 fight: 'I thought I was having a cardiac arrest'

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

'I am in financial obligation. I can't make enough cash to cover my debt due to the fact that I am handling Derek's care and I can't even use the cash I do need to support Derek's recovery, due to the fact that it's going on the basics all the time.'

In May last year, Kate candidly exposed she's turned to withdrawing money from her pension pot to pay the substantial costs throughout a conversation about the NHS and personal care on GMB.

Sharing the results of a study that exposed one in five Brits are getting themselves into financial obligation while funding private healthcare, she confessed: 'I am doing something similar myself.

'I have had to withdraw the bit you can tax complimentary from my pension to spend for belated bills for my husband, who has now passed away.

'People are needing to do things - it wasn't a huge pension in the very first location - which aren't what they saved for.'

Addressing the most recent HMRC filing, Kate's spokesperson informed MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'stunned' TV star 'does not recognise these figures' and touches with HMRC to make sure she 'honours what is required'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'excruciating' chest pains after suffering severe tension while hubby Derek remained in recovery

Their statement read: 'Kate has actually fulfilled all that the liquidators of Derek's business have requested and more over the previous 4 years.

'She does not acknowledge these figures and is shocked that it's existing in this way by them.

'Caring for Derek and supporting her household when Derek might no longer run his own businesses has taken a huge monetary toll on her however she's identified to put things right.
