Kate Garraway has exposed that she still gets up in the the night stressing that she hasn't offered her late husband Derek Draper his medicine.

The TV speaker 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 fight with long Covid.

Speaking in The Sun, she told of how those hard years remain in her thoughts.

She discussed: 'I still wake up in the middle of the night worrying that I have not given him his medicine, or that I have actually forgotten to move him every hour to avoid the uncomfortable contractions in his limbs.

The TV speaker and broadcaster, 58, reviewed his end of life care in a candid brand-new interview on Wednesday

'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 entire life. You don't resent it, however you suffer because of it.'

In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'agonizing' chest discomforts after suffering extreme tension while other half Derek was in healing.

She required medical support of her own after being woken by the 2am alarm she sets each night for Good Morning Britain - and discovering 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 instantly required to the nearby A&E for tests.

Kate has been hectic juggling a chaotic work schedule, as the true degree of her financial obligations are exposed.

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

In addition to dealing with debts connected to the ₤ 16,000 a month expenses for his care, a brand-new liquidator's report has revealed the large tax costs that are yet to be paid by Derek's now-defunct psychotherapeutic business Astra Aspera.

The business, which was jointly controlled by Kate, folded owing hundreds of countless pounds to creditors, including a large costs to HMRC.

Kate has been busy promoting her different work jobs as her debts tower above her but it's not the first time the broadcaster has actually needed to handle financial woes.

In 2012, two other companies jointly managed by Derek and Kate folded.

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 very 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 sell the home to repay her present financial obligations with one source saying: 'It has cost hundreds of countless pounds to look after Derek and do everything she could to get him better but it's left her having a hard time.'

But hard-working Kate has been on a self-promotion blitz in the middle of her latest financial troubles.

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

She has also been teasing her finalizing in possibly among the most anticipated 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 struck 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 eight episodes, which are released weekly, feature interviews with Emiratis and Dubai homeowners 'who have left an indelible mark on the city.'

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

Kate formerly revealed that Derek's ₤ 16,000-a-month care costs eclipsed her GMB wage, admitting 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 in the middle of husband Derek Draper's COVID-19 battle: 'I thought I was having a cardiovascular disease'

Speaking before her other half's death, Kate stated: costs more than my income from ITV and that is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any family expenses, before you spend for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I owe money. I can't earn enough money to cover my financial obligation since I am managing Derek's care and I can't even utilize the cash I do have to support Derek's healing, because it's going on the essentials all the time.'

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

Sharing the outcomes of a survey that exposed one in five Brits are getting themselves into debt while funding private medical care, she confessed: 'I am doing something similar myself.

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

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

Addressing the most recent HMRC filing, Kate's spokesperson told MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'surprised' TV star 'does not recognise these figures' and is in contact with HMRC to ensure she 'honours what is needed'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'distressing' chest discomforts after suffering severe stress while spouse Derek remained in recovery

Their declaration checked out: 'Kate has satisfied all that the liquidators of Derek's business have actually requested and more over the past 4 years.

'She does not acknowledge these figures and is surprised 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 big financial toll on her however she's figured out to put things right.
