Kate Garraway has revealed she's resorted to withdrawing money from her pension pot to pay the huge bills from her late husband Derek Draper's medical care.
The Good Morning Britain presenter, 57, shared the insight into her financial struggles during a discussion about the NHS and private care.
Following Derek's death, Kate has revealed she ended up in thousands of pounds of debt while trying to fund her husband's round-the-clock medical care, after his battle with Covid in 2020.
In an ITV documentary last month, the star admitted she couldn't even afford to have the heating on in October.
Kate revealed that she's taken money out of her pension to pay for Derek's belated medical bills, after sharing the results of a GMB survey, which revealed one in five Brits are getting themselves into debt while funding private medical care.

She said: 'I am doing something similar myself.
'I have had to withdraw the bit you can tax free from my pension to pay for belated bills for my husband, who has now passed away.
'People are having to do things - it wasn't a huge pension in the first place - which aren't what they saved for.'
Kate previously shared that she researched accessing her pension fund early to try and fund Derek's care.
