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

'The next 2nd I understand he no longer needs that care. There is a minute of relief - that I did not let him down - before a tsunami of sadness hits.

'Caring takes control of your entire life. You don't begrudge it, however you suffer because of it.'

In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'agonizing' chest pains after suffering extreme tension while husband Derek remained in healing.

She required medical assistance of her own after being woken by the 2am alarm she sets each night for Good Morning Britain - and she couldn't relocate to turn it off.

In her book, The Strength Of Love, the speaker explained how she then felt a 'searing pain' in her chest and was immediately taken to the closest A&E for tests.

Kate has actually been hectic juggling a busy work schedule, as the real degree of her debts are exposed.

She has actually honestly gone over how she has been entrusted financial obligations between ₤ 500,000 and ₤ 800,000 after looking after her late partner Derek.

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

The company, which was collectively controlled by Kate, went bust owing numerous thousands of pounds to lenders, including a big bill to HMRC.

Kate has actually been hectic promoting her different work jobs as her financial obligations tower above her but it's not the very first time the broadcaster has had to deal with monetary issues.

In 2012, two other firms jointly controlled by Derek and Kate failed.

Fulfill Media Ltd had debts amounting to ₤ 922,807, that included ₤ 88,486 owed to HMRC, ₤ 90,882 to trade financial institutions, and ₤ 462,808 in '3rd celebration loans'.

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

In January 2024, it was reported that Kate may have to sell the home to repay her present debts with one source stating: 'It has actually cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to look after Derek and do everything she could to get him much better however it's left her struggling.'

But hard-working Kate has been on a self-promotion blitz amid her most current monetary troubles.

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

She has also been teasing her signing in maybe among the most awaited TV shows of year - Celebrity Traitors.

Together with the likes of Stephen Fry, Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross Kate headed to Scotland a couple of weeks ago to movie the spin off of the blockbuster 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 homeowners 'who have actually left an indelible mark on the city.'

She filmed the series in 2015 and has actually confessed that she found it 'interesting' to discover how individuals lived their lives at a time when she was considering 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 manage to have the heating on in October.

Kate Garraway was hospitalised with 'agonizing' chest discomforts due to tension in the middle of hubby Derek Draper's COVID-19 battle: 'I thought I was having a cardiovascular disease'

Speaking before her partner's death, Kate stated: 'Derek's care costs more than my salary from ITV which is before you pay for a mortgage, before you pay any household costs, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I am in debt. I can't earn adequate cash to cover my financial obligation since I am handling Derek's care and I can't even utilize the cash I do have to support Derek's healing, since it's going on the essentials all the time.'

In May last year, Kate candidly exposed she's turned to withdrawing cash from her pension pot to pay the substantial expenses during a discussion about the NHS and personal care on GMB.

Sharing the outcomes of a survey that revealed one in 5 Brits are getting themselves into debt while moneying private treatment, she admitted: 'I am doing something comparable myself.

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

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

Addressing the most recent HMRC filing, Kate's representative informed MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'shocked' TV star 'doesn't acknowledge these figures' and is in contact with HMRC to make certain she 'honours what is required'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'distressing' chest pains after suffering extreme stress while other half Derek remained in healing

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

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

'Taking care of Derek and supporting her household when Derek could no longer run his own companies has actually taken a big financial toll on her however she's figured out to put things right.
