In May this year, Kate was reportedly faced with a £716,000 tax bill, after she was forced to close her husband's psychotherapy firm.In 2021, Kate posted on Instagram that she'd made the difficult decision to pack up Derek's office and therapy room, after revealing he sleeps for 20 hours a day.

'As we pulled up, I could see two little faces, Darcey and Billy [their children] looking out the window, and I could literally see them go, "He's here"', Kate told her Good Morning Britain colleagues of her husbands arrival home. 'And they sort of ran out and ran forward, opened the door, and he immediately burst into tears,' she told Good Morning Britain.
