She flashed a huge smile as she posed in front of the film's eye-catching golden promotional boards.

Her son later joined her for a few images, with his GMB star mum making sure to hold his hand to calm his nerves.

They were joined by the likes of Love Island's Ekin Su for the star-studded evening.

Kate's rare night out comes after she told how husband Derek - who has been in and out of hospital since contracting Covid - is again battling life-threatening sepsis.

Earlier this month, she shared a touching update about her former lobbyist husband as she praised inspiring carers for their vital work.

Back in March 2020, Derek, 55, contracted Covid and has been fighting to overcome his health problems ever since.

Derek returned to his family home in April 2021 after more than a year in hospital, but was recently rushed back after contracting sepsis.

Kate opened up about how he is doing in a recent piece for The Sun.

Kate wrote: "Derek is back in hospital after developing sepsis that again threatened his life and we are again fighting to get him home.

"But I remain constantly inspired by those around him - not just for their expertise but for their loving care. 

"On his birthday they wrote in a card, 'We celebrate every day your braveness and strength to keep going through the pain, struggles and setbacks.'"
