One person wrote: “Great to see you having some fun ❤.”

“Glad you are having a great time, you deserve it. ❤️😁❤️❤️,” added another.

While someone else commented: “Great to see u having fun with ur boy well deserved 👏 x.”

Kate’s life was turned upside down when her husband Derek Draper fell ill with Covid in March 2020.

He spent over a year in hospital, before finally returning home to be cared for by his GMB star wife and their children.

It’s thought Derek has been one of the worst affected cases to have survived coronavirus.

Earlier this year, Kate revealed her husband Derek will die within three days if he's left unaided without expert care.

Kate often gets up every two hours in the night to help the overnight carer to move him in bed, and she has to wash and change his bed linen a staggering seven times a day.

She juggles that with getting up in the early hours to host Good Morning Britain.
