The business, which was jointly managed by Kate, went bust owing hundreds of thousands of pounds to lenders, consisting of a big costs to HMRC.

Kate has actually been busy promoting her various work jobs as her debts loom over her however it's not the very first time the broadcaster has actually needed to deal with financial concerns.

In 2012, 2 other firms collectively controlled by Derek and Kate folded.

Fulfill Media Ltd had debts totalling ₤ 922,807, that included ₤ 88,486 owed to HMRC, ₤ 90,882 to trade financial institutions, and ₤ 462,808 in '3rd party loans'.

Speaking before her spouse's death, Kate stated: 'Derek's care expenses more than my income from ITV which is before you spend for a mortgage, before you pay any household expenses, before you spend for anything for the kids, so we are at a crunch point.

'I owe money. I can't earn sufficient cash to cover my financial obligation because I am handling Derek's care and I can't even use the cash I do need to support Derek's healing, since it's going on the basics all the time.'

In May last year, Kate candidly revealed she's resorted to withdrawing money from her pension pot to pay the huge costs during a conversation about the NHS and personal care on GMB.

Sharing the results of a survey that exposed one in five Brits are getting themselves into financial obligation while funding personal treatment, she confessed: 'I am doing something comparable myself.

'I have needed to withdraw the bit you can tax totally free from my pension to spend for belated expenses for my partner, who has now passed away.

'People are needing to do things - it wasn't a big pension in the very first location - which aren't what they conserved for.'

Addressing the most recent HMRC filing, Kate's spokesperson told MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'shocked' TV star 'does not recognise these figures' and is in contact with HMRC to make sure she 'honours what is required'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'excruciating' chest discomforts after suffering extreme tension while husband Derek was in healing

Their statement read: 'Kate has fulfilled all that the liquidators of Derek's business have asked for and more over the past 4 years.

'She doesn't acknowledge these figures and is stunned that it's existing in this method by them.

'Caring for Derek and supporting her family when Derek could no longer run his own services has actually taken a substantial monetary toll on her but she's identified to put things right.

'She remains in constant contact with HMRC to make sure she honours what's required from Derek's now defunct business.'
