This is third time the Good Morning Britain presenter has invited cameras into her home, and sadly, this instalment charts the lead-up to the death of her husband, Derek Draper, in January this year, following severe complications from Covid. It shows how Kate, their two teenage children and loved ones have coped in the aftermath, pays tribute to Derek, and also champions the work of the NHS, unpaid carers and medical staff.

A Coronation Street fave in peg-form makes an early showing, before the gang are challenged to something as dangerous as possible with an egg. Instantly hilarious, as always. Welcome back, TM!
