The presenter, 56, said she felt ashamed for being 'completely broke' after having to pay out £16,000 a month in care bills as she acknowledged her 'well paid' job at ITV wasn't enough to cover the cost.

Kate Garraway choked back tears on Good Morning Britain today as she movingly told how she didn't want to give up as she talked about her crippling debt hell from caring for her beloved late husband Derek Draper.

The presenter, 56, had to pay out £16,000 a month in care bills as she acknowledged her 'well paid' job at ITV wasn't enough to cover the cost, leaving her in huge debt Kate said the documentary was Derek's way of saying 'I'm going to speak up for the people who have supported me'. Faced with a debt of up to £800,000 Kate confessed: 'Derek's care costs more than my salary from ITV and that's before you pay for a mortgage or household bills or anything for the kids - so that is a crunch point.'

Derek’s Story features him talking on camera for the first time since his health battle as he admitted: 'I want to be heard.' One sweet moment saw Kate task Derek with opening some of her birthday cards and reading out the messages for her, but even that simple action left Derek in need of rest.Advertisement While Derek admitted he could feel an improvement in his health and their son Billy said he could 'see the difference', Kate confessed that she couldn't allow herself to think about what this meant going forward.
