She admitted she was expected to attend this year's Christmas Carol event hosted by Catherine, the Princess of Wales before having to cancel at the last minute.
Kate has been caring for Derek who fell ill at the start of the pandemic with coronavirus and was left fighting for his life.
Although she didn't reveal who was at the centre of the "crisis" a few weeks ago, Kate told GMB: "I was going to take my dad who has been looking forward to it for so long.
"But unfortunately we ended up back at the hospital with another crisis.

She memorably played the piano alongside performances from Leona Lewis and Tom Walker.
