The company, which was collectively managed by Kate, failed owing hundreds of countless pounds to financial institutions, including a large bill to HMRC.

Kate has been busy promoting her numerous work projects as her financial obligations tower above her but it's not the very first time the broadcaster has had to deal with monetary woes.

In 2012, 2 other companies jointly controlled by Derek and Kate folded.

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

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

'I am in debt. I can't make sufficient money to cover my debt since I am managing Derek's care and I can't even utilize the money I do need to support Derek's healing, due to the fact that 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 outcomes of a survey that exposed one in 5 Brits are getting themselves into financial obligation while funding private healthcare, she admitted: 'I am doing something comparable myself.

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

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

Addressing the current HMRC filing, Kate's representative told MailOnline on Wednesday that the 'surprised' TV star 'does not recognise these figures' and touches with HMRC to make sure she 'honours what is required'.

In 2023 Kate was even hospitalised with 'distressing' chest pains after suffering severe tension while hubby Derek was in healing

Their declaration checked out: 'Kate has actually met all that the liquidators of Derek's business have actually requested for and more over the previous 4 years.

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

'Taking care of Derek and supporting her household when Derek might no longer run his own companies has actually taken a big monetary toll on her but she's determined to put things right.
