A third commented: “Happy 16th birthday Darcey hope you’re having a wonderful day. You have the most amazing family.”

Last month, viewers of Kate’s documentary Caring for Derek had nothing but praise for Darcey and her brother Billy with how they’ve coped with their dad Derek’s illness.

Derek is receiving round-the-clock care after spending more than a year in hospital battling Covid and its after-effects.

Kate’s documentary showed how carers and herself care for Derek at their London family home.

The show also featured Darcey and Billy as they opened up about their dad’s illness.

During one point of the doc, Darcey was asked whether she was worried about people seeing her dad now.

She replied: “Not at all. I know some people might be embarrassed by it. But I’m not embarrassed by it… because he’s survived it, you know what I mean?

“So it’s more impressive than embarrassing.”
