Kate said: “He had a tough week, he had two big falls in blood pressure and swelling in his legs which was concerning in case it might be clots… COVID can cause clotting.”

Kate went on to reveal that Derek had watched Kate while she was on GMB.

Kate added: “He is stable and yesterday I spoke to the nurses, and they had put Good Morning Britain on, and they felt, because his eyes were open, that he looked focused and engaged.

“I found it very emotional. We don’t know if it was the moving of the light or the familiar voices.”

Yesterday, Kate spoke of how they are going to celebrate his birthday again when Derek is better.

Talking on GMB yesterday, Kate said: “It’s like the Queen. Because of the situation with his dad being in hospital and all of the challenges we’re facing with mixing at the moment, he’s (Billy) having four birthdays.

“The first one was with his friends on Saturday, which was an absolute storm.

“Bill absolutely loved it, he was completely overwhelmed. He was emotional too, of course.

“I said we’re going to do it all again when dad gets better.”
