'I am in debt. I can't earn sufficient money to cover my financial obligation because I am handling Derek's care and I can't even use the money I do need to support Derek's recovery, due to the fact that it's going on the essentials all the time.'

In May last year, Kate candidly revealed she's resorted to withdrawing cash from her pension pot to pay the big expenses throughout a conversation about the NHS and personal care on GMB.
