"When Caring for Derek was nominated, I was of course very honoured but I had mixed feelings about asking people to vote for the film.I was worried and guilty about asking for more support when so many have already sent their good wishes."
Kate's latest confession comes just days after she marked World Mental Health Day by sharing a rare video with fans in which she touched upon her own struggles.
Kate, 55, revealed on camera that she has, at times, felt "frustrated, emotional and depressed" while caring for her beloved husband.

Referring to her acclaimed documentary, Finding Derek, she said: "In the documentary, you saw me frustrated, depressed, emotional. And I've been all of those and more in recent weeks and months and more.
"Because that's the thing with caring, you want it to carry on because you want the person to be surviving and still with you, so that you CAN care for them, but there isn't an endpoint and it doesn't get any easier."
Kate's husband first became ill in March 2020 and spent 13 months in hospital before finally being allowed to move back to his family home, where Kate and specialist nurses have been taking care of him.
Since being at home, Derek has spent a great deal of time in hospital too, in order to receive special treatment.
Over the summer, Derek was again hospitalised after he contracted life-threatening sepsis and was rushed into intensive care.
