The TV presenter and broadcaster, 58, reviewed his end of life care in an honest new interview on Wednesday.

Derek passed away at the age of 56 in January 2024 following a four-year battle with long Covid.

Speaking in The Sun, she told of how those difficult years stay in her thoughts.

She explained: 'I still get up in the middle of the night stressing that I haven't provided him his medicine, or that I have actually forgotten to move him every hour to prevent the uncomfortable contractions in his limbs.

'The next 2nd 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 sadness hits.

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

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

She required medical assistance of her own after being woken by the 2am alarm she sets each night for Good Morning Britain - and discovering she could not relocate 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 instantly taken to the nearest A&E for tests.

Kate has actually been hectic managing a busy work schedule, as the true degree of her financial obligations are exposed.

She has freely discussed how she has been left with debts between ₤ 500,000 and ₤ 800,000 after taking care of her late partner Derek.

As well as dealing with financial obligations associated with the ₤ 16,000 a month costs for his care, a new liquidator's report has revealed the big tax costs that are yet to be paid by Derek's now-defunct psychotherapeutic company Astra Aspera.

The company, which was jointly controlled by Kate, failed owing hundreds of countless pounds to lenders, including a large expense to HMRC.

Kate has actually been hectic promoting her different work tasks as her financial obligations loom over her but it's not the first time the broadcaster has needed to handle financial concerns.

In 2012, 2 other companies collectively managed by Derek and Kate went bust.

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

At the same time, Countrymouse Media Ltd, was liquidated owing ₤ 189,121, which consisted of ₤ 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 company.

In January 2024, it was reported that Kate may have to offer the home to repay her present debts with one source saying: 'It has actually cost numerous thousands of pounds to take care of Derek and do everything she might to get him much better but it's left her struggling.'

But hard-working Kate has been on a self-promotion blitz in the middle of her most current monetary issues.

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

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

Along 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 struck BBC series.

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

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

She filmed the series in 2015 and has actually admitted that she found it 'intriguing' to learn about how individuals lived their lives at a time when she was contemplating her future plans.

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

Kate Garraway was hospitalised with pains due to stress in the middle of hubby Derek Draper's COVID-19 fight: 'I believed I was having a cardiac arrest'

Speaking before her hubby's death, Kate said: 'Derek's care expenses more than my salary from ITV and that is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any household expenses, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I am in financial obligation. I can't make adequate money to cover my debt because I am managing Derek's care and I can't even utilize the cash I do need to support Derek's healing, due to the fact that it's going on the fundamentals all the time.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'She doesn't recognise these figures and is surprised that it's existing in this method by them.

'Taking care of Derek and supporting her household when Derek might no longer run his own businesses has actually taken a substantial financial toll on her but she's determined to put things right.

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