Derek died at the age of 56 in January 2024 following a four-year fight with long Covid.

Speaking in The Sun, she told of how those tough years remain in her ideas.

The TV speaker and broadcaster, 58, reflected on his end of life care in an honest new interview on Wednesday

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

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

In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'agonizing' chest pains after suffering severe stress while hubby Derek was in recovery.

She required medical support of her own after being woken by the 2am alarm she sets each night for Good Morning Britain - and finding she could not transfer to turn it off.

In her book, The Strength Of Love, the presenter described how she then felt a 'searing discomfort' in her chest and was right away taken to the nearby A&E for tests.

Kate has actually been hectic managing a busy work schedule, as the true degree of her debts are revealed.

She has actually freely gone over how she has been left with debts in between ₤ 500,000 and ₤ 800,000 after caring for her late husband Derek.

In addition to dealing with financial obligations associated with the ₤ 16,000 a month costs for his care, a brand-new liquidator's report has exposed the big tax expenses that are yet to be paid by Derek's now-defunct Astra Aspera.

The company, which was jointly managed by Kate, folded owing numerous countless pounds to financial institutions, including a large bill to HMRC.

Kate has been busy promoting her various work tasks as her debts loom over her but it's not the very first time the broadcaster has actually had to handle monetary problems.

In 2012, 2 other firms collectively managed by Derek and Kate folded.

Fulfill Media Ltd had debts amounting to ₤ 922,807, which consisted of ₤ 88,486 owed to HMRC, ₤ 90,882 to trade creditors, and ₤ 462,808 in '3rd celebration loans'.

At the exact same time, Countrymouse Media Ltd, was liquidated owing ₤ 189,121, that included ₤ 98,944 to the taxman and ₤ 48,000 on an overdrawn directors loan account. Derek and Kate were both personally owed ₤ 24,000 each by the organization.

In January 2024, it was reported that Kate might need to offer the home to repay her existing debts with one source stating: 'It has actually cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to care for Derek and do whatever she could to get him better but 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 latest monetary woes.

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

She has also been teasing her signing in maybe one of the most expected 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 film the spin off of the blockbuster BBC series.

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

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

She recorded the series last year and has admitted that she discovered it 'intriguing' to learn more about how people lived their lives at a time when she was contemplating her future strategies.

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

Kate Garraway was hospitalised with 'distressing' chest pains due to tension amid spouse Derek Draper's COVID-19 fight: 'I believed I was having a heart attack'

Speaking before her partner's death, Kate said: 'Derek's care costs more than my wage from ITV and that 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 owe money. I can't earn adequate cash to cover my debt since I am handling Derek's care and I can't even utilize the money I do have to support Derek's healing, because it's going on the essentials all the time.'

In May in 2015, Kate openly exposed she's turned to withdrawing money from her pension pot to pay the big expenses throughout a conversation about the NHS and private care on GMB.

Sharing the results of a survey that revealed one in five Brits are getting themselves into debt while moneying private treatment, she admitted: 'I am doing something similar myself.

'I have actually needed to withdraw the bit you can tax totally free from my pension to spend for belated costs for my husband, who has now died.

'People are having to do things - it wasn't a substantial pension in the very first place - which aren't what they conserved for.'

Addressing the current HMRC filing, Kate's spokesperson told MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'shocked' TV star 'doesn't recognise these figures' and is in contact with HMRC to make sure she 'honours what is required'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'distressing' chest pains after suffering extreme stress while partner Derek was in recovery

Their statement checked out: 'Kate has satisfied all that the liquidators of Derek's company have actually asked for and more over the past 4 years.

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

'Caring for Derek and supporting her family when Derek could no longer run his own organizations has taken a big financial toll on her however she's identified to put things right.

'She remains in consistent contact with HMRC to make certain she honours what's needed from Derek's now defunct company.'
