Derek is now at home, being cared for round-the-clock by nurses and other medical professionals, and Kate shared how busy her life is as a result.
The mum-of-two is so devoted to her husband that she spends time with him while he’s asleep so that they can catch up in the brief moments he is awake.

“He’s had a good day today, ” she said. “We did some exercises together before I came out. A day at any given time, but today’s a good day. Thank you for asking, that’s really kind of you. ”
