Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Kate detailed some of the battles Derek has faced this week.
It’s then that she welled up as she learned he may have watched her on GMB on Monday, after her return to work.
She confirmed: “It really is good morning to everyone, it really is yeah.
“As you know Derek had a tough week last week, that’s the one thing we’re all having to face.
“He had a tough week, he had two big falls in blood pressure and also swelling in his legs with the concern that it might be clots it was very very emotional.
“He has had clots in his lungs … I suppose the concern would be is if it was new clots forming.”

“I found it very emotional, we don’t know if it was the movement or the light, so good morning Derek if you are watching, we’re all sending you lots of love.”
