After experiencing a wave of unsettling symptoms, the ITV presenter was rushed to hospital, with doctors worryinh about her health and immediately placing her on a drip.
Speaking to Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard on her return, she explained: “I came in Friday before last and I couldn’t look at the lights and I had a temperature over 40.
“I said, ‘I’ll be fine,’ but the director said, ‘Even you can’t make this funny, Kate, there is no way you can do the show, we can’t turn the lights off’.”
Doctors initially thought Kate had been struck down with meningitis, luckily, this wasn’t the case, and she was given a course of treatment to sort her out.
