One person wrote: "Kate your such a wonderful person your husband Derek is holding on with your strength and ur kids he will pull though am sending you all my prayers and thoughts and sending you big hugs [sic]."

I'm sending every ounce of love and goodwill I have, for your husband's recovery. So for the moment, just stay focussed and hold your kids close for now. God bless."
The emotional exchange comes soon after the 53-year-old updated her fans on Derek's health with a touch message on Father's Day. Posting a collage of pictures, the presenter wrote: "Thank you so much for all your kind messages of support after my interviews with GMB and The Sun a couple of weeks ago. Am sorry have not posted recently. I just needed a little time."
"Whatever happens next I’m afraid it IS going to be a long road, with an uncertain end that isn’t even nearly in sight right now. BUT. This week I am refocusing on hope that as a family we are going to pull together with the support of friends and get through everything come what may."
