Mick, my milkman, who has just been amazing. He has absolutely just kept me going. He’ll leave me a little note saying: ‘Do you need anything extra other than the milk?’

Ben asked his co-host: “Are you still answering the door in your dressing gown and fluffy slippers?”
“And a shower cap,” Kate laughed.
Moving on, she added: “Mick, thank you.
“Shall we move on as I’ve got myself in trouble. Even I didn’t see that one coming.”
What did viewers say about Kate’s innuendo?
Viewers said it was lovely to see Kate laugh after such a tough year.
“I’d say her job is her lifeline, to escape for a while. Great to see her laugh. Very tough for all the family,” said one Kate fan.
Another added: “I saw this today and thought it was so funny. It’s lovely to see Kate laughing.”
A third said: “Bless her. Totally down to earth even with all the issues she has at the minute. There’s quite a few people that could learn a lot from Kate on how to live your life.”
“I think it’s just great to see people laughing. We haven’t done much of it this year so It’s a very welcome sound,” another added.
