The ITV Good Morning Britain presenter confirmed she had undertaken a break.

Kate was focusing on “family stuff”, the GMB host confirmed on Instagram today.

Kate wrote: “Hey sorry not been on here for a while – went below the radar for a bit to focus on home & family stuff – more of that to come .

“But what lovely news to come back to @smoothradio with this morning – our show now has a record breaking over 2.5 million listeners !

“So glad you love the show as much as I do & here’s the star of it – my brilliant producer @jamesdanielsjd . See you tomorrow at 10 !”

Kate has been open about husband Derek Draper’s battle with Covid ever since he caught the virus in March of last year.

Derek entered a coma on April 5 and was only released from hospital earlier this year.

Kate has created an award winning documentary Finding Derek on ITV 1 for those suffering with Covid and all those who have lost a loved one to the deadly disease.

Kate and Derek share two children together, Darcey and Billy, who both featured in the ITV doc too.
