The former New Labour giant and psychotherapist died aged 56 on January 3 after suffering a cardiac arrest following years of multiple health complications after contracting Covid in 2020. Host Ed Balls said ITV viewers would be 'upset' to find out Kate was being trolled, to which she responded: 'I get a huge amount of love so it's fine to get a little bit of hate along the way as well because people can express their opinions. After Derek's sudden death earlier this year, Kate had considered not continuing with the documentary but decided to carry on as otherwise she would be 'abandoning all of those thousands of people who felt as thought they had a voice with him '.
