In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'excruciating' chest pains after suffering severe stress while husband Derek remained in recovery.

The business, which was jointly controlled by Kate, failed owing hundreds of countless pounds to financial institutions, consisting of a large expense to HMRC.

Kate has been hectic promoting her different work tasks as her debts loom over her but it's not the very first time the broadcaster has had to handle financial problems.

In 2012, 2 other firms collectively 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'.

In January 2024, it was reported that Kate may need to sell the home to repay her existing financial obligations with one source stating: 'It has cost hundreds of thousands of pounds to look after Derek and do whatever she could to get him much better but it's left her having a hard time.'

But hard-working Kate has been on a self-promotion blitz amidst her newest financial problems.

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

She has actually also been teasing her signing in perhaps among the most expected TV programs of year - Celebrity Traitors.

Together with the similarity Stephen Fry, Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross Kate headed to Scotland a couple of weeks ago to film 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 8 episodes, which are launched weekly, function interviews with Emiratis and Dubai citizens 'who have left an indelible mark on the city.'

She filmed the series last year and has actually confessed that she discovered it 'fascinating' to discover how individuals lived their lives at a time when she was contemplating her future plans.

Kate previously revealed that Derek's ₤ 16,000-a-month care expenses eclipsed her GMB income, confessing in a 2023 interview that she couldn't even afford to have the heating on in October.

Speaking before her spouse's death, Kate said: 'Derek's care expenses more than my salary from ITV which is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any home bills, before you pay for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I am in financial obligation. I can't make sufficient money to cover my debt since I am managing 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 fundamentals all the time.'

In May in 2015, Kate openly exposed she's resorted 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 study that revealed one in 5 Brits are getting themselves into debt while funding private treatment, she confessed: 'I am doing something similar myself.

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

'People are having to do things - it wasn't a huge pension in the first place - which aren't what they saved for.'

Addressing the most current HMRC filing, Kate's spokesperson told MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'surprised' TV star 'doesn't identify these figures' and touches with HMRC to make sure she 'honours what is required'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'excruciating' chest pains after suffering extreme tension while hubby Derek remained in recovery

Their statement checked out: 'Kate has satisfied all that the liquidators of Derek's company have actually requested for and more over the previous 4 years.

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

'Taking care of Derek and supporting her household when Derek could no longer run his own companies has taken a substantial monetary toll on her however she's determined to put things right.

'She is in continuous contact with HMRC to make certain she honours what's needed from Derek's now defunct business.'
