The Smooth Radio star made the revelation on Friday, after taking to Twitter to beg fans for help after she accidentally left her husband's medication inside a taxi.
Taking to Twitter, Kate wrote: "Help!! Have just brought Derek home in a mobility black cab from hospital for a weekend visit -and have left a case with all his meds and kit in the front! The driver recognised me but may not know it's there - please look and get in touch - need urgently!!"
Kate's followers rushed to the rescue, offering advice and support, and a few days later Kate updated her followers on progress, explaining: "It's been returned! Thanks to all who reached out - the message got to driver lovely Robert who has returned it - phew and thanks to all."

Back in March 2020, Derek fell ill with Covid-19 and although he no longer has the virus, he has suffered long-lasting damage to his organs and requires daily care.
The 54-year-old former political advisor spent 13 months in hospital and in April 2021 returned home to his wife and their two children, Darcey, 16, and Billy, 12.
Derek's health journey and how it impacted his family was explored in two documentaries: Finding Derek and Caring for Derek.
