<br>Kate Garraway has exposed that she still wakes up in the the [night panicking](https://propcart.co.ke) that she hasn't given her late hubby Derek Draper his medicine<br>
<br>The TV speaker and broadcaster, 58, reviewed his end of life care in a candid brand-new interview on Wednesday<br>
<br>'The next 2nd I [realise](https://terrenospuertomorelos.com) he no longer needs that care. There is a minute of relief - that I did not let him down - before a tsunami of unhappiness hits.<br>
<br>'Caring takes control of your whole life. You do not begrudge it, but you suffer due to the fact that of it.'<br>
<br>In 2023, Kate was hospitalised with 'distressing' chest discomforts after suffering extreme tension while hubby Derek remained in healing.<br>
<br>She needed medical help of her own after being woken by the 2am alarm she sets each night for Good [Morning Britain](https://www.varni.ae) - and discovering she could not move to turn it off.<br>
<br>In her book, The Strength Of Love, the presenter described how she then felt a 'searing pain' in her chest and was instantly taken to the nearest A&E for tests.<br>
<br>Kate has been busy managing a chaotic work schedule, as the true extent of her debts are exposed.<br>
<br>She has honestly discussed how she has actually been left with financial obligations between ₤ 500,000 and ₤ 800,000 after looking after her late other half Derek.<br>
<br>In addition to taking on debts connected to the ₤ 16,000 a month costs for his care, a new liquidator's report has revealed the large tax costs that are yet to be paid by Derek's now-defunct psychotherapeutic company Astra Aspera.<br>
<br>[Derek passed](https://cabana.villas) away at the age of 56 in January 2024 following a four-year fight with long Covid (seen in 2007)<br>
<br>She described: 'I still wake up in the middle of the night worrying that I have not offered him his medicine'<br>
<br>The company, which was jointly controlled by Kate, folded owing numerous countless pounds to financial institutions, including a big bill to HMRC.<br>
<br>Kate has been hectic promoting her different work projects as her debts loom over her but it's not the first time the broadcaster has actually needed to handle financial troubles.<br>
<br>In 2012, two other firms collectively [controlled](https://pl-property.com) by Derek and Kate failed.<br>
<br>Fulfill Media Ltd had financial obligations amounting to ₤ 922,807, which consisted of ₤ 88,486 owed to HMRC, ₤ 90,882 to trade financial institutions, and ₤ 462,808 in '3rd party loans'.<br>
<br>At the very same time, Countrymouse Media Ltd, was liquidated owing ₤ 189,121, which consisted of ₤ 98,944 to the taxman and ₤ 48,000 on an overdrawn directors loan account. Derek and Kate were both personally owed ₤ 24,000 each by the company.<br>
<br>In January 2024, it was reported that Kate might have to offer the home to repay her existing financial obligations with one source saying: 'It has cost hundreds of countless pounds to care for Derek and do whatever she could to get him better however it's left her having a hard time.'<br>
<br>But hard-working Kate has been on a self-promotion blitz amid her most current monetary problems.<br>
<br>Alongside her regular GMB work, the star plugged her Smooth Radio reveal this week, [exposing](https://lefkada-hotels.gr) she was 'chuffed' that the lunch break show now reached 2.8 million listeners.<br>
<br>She has also been teasing her finalizing in maybe among the most anticipated TV shows of year - Celebrity Traitors.<br>
<br>Together with the [similarity Stephen](https://www.homesofrockies.com) Fry, Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross Kate headed to Scotland a couple of weeks ago to movie the spin off of the smash hit BBC series.<br>
<br>Meanwhile, in February she was revealed as the host of a brand-new Dubai-set podcast and YouTube series - DXB Unheard.<br>
<br>Each of the eight episodes, which are released weekly, feature interviews with Emiratis and Dubai homeowners 'who have actually left an indelible mark on the city.'<br>
<br>She shot the series last year and has confessed that she discovered it 'interesting' to find out about how people lived their lives at a time when she was pondering her future plans.<br>
<br>Kate formerly revealed that Derek's ₤ 16,000-a-month care expenses eclipsed her GMB wage, admitting in a 2023 interview that she couldn't even manage to have the heating on in October.<br>
<br>Kate Garraway was hospitalised with 'distressing' chest discomforts due to stress in the middle of other half Derek Draper's COVID-19 battle: 'I believed I was having a cardiac arrest'<br>
<br>Speaking before her other half's death, Kate stated: ['Derek's care](https://nosazz.ir) costs more than my wage from ITV and that is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any family costs, before you spend for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.<br>
<br>'I am in financial obligation. I can't make sufficient money to cover my debt since I am handling Derek's care and I can't even utilize the cash I do need to support Derek's healing, since it's going on the essentials all the time.'<br>
<br>In May last year, Kate openly exposed she's turned to withdrawing money from her pension pot to pay the huge costs throughout a conversation about the NHS and [private care](https://reswis.com) on GMB.<br>
<br>Sharing the outcomes of a study that revealed one in five Brits are getting themselves into financial obligation while moneying personal treatment, she admitted: 'I am doing something myself.<br>
<br>'I have actually needed to withdraw the bit you can tax free from my pension to spend for belated expenses for my hubby, who has actually now passed away.<br>
<br>'People are having to do things - it wasn't a substantial pension in the first location - which aren't what they conserved for.'<br>
<br>Addressing the latest HMRC filing, Kate's representative informed MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'surprised' TV star 'doesn't recognise these figures' and is in contact with HMRC to make certain she 'honours what is required'.<br>
<br>In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'distressing' chest discomforts after suffering extreme stress while husband Derek was in healing<br>
<br>Their statement read: 'Kate has actually satisfied all that the liquidators of Derek's business have asked for and more over the past four years.<br>
<br>'She doesn't acknowledge these figures and is surprised that it's being presented in this way by them.<br>
<br>'Caring for Derek and supporting her family when Derek might no longer run his own companies has taken a huge financial toll on her but she's figured out to put things right.<br>
<br>'She is in [continuous contact](https://circaoldhouses.com) with HMRC to ensure she honours what's required from Derek's now defunct company.'<br>
