She also revealed doctors have told her she should “go back to work and create a routine in our lives again”.
Speaking to Hello!, mum-of-two Kate said: “The doctors have been urging me not to put my life on pause.
“They’ve told me that I need to go back to work and create a routine in our lives again.

However, ED! readers have been left divided over Kate’s decision to return to GMB.

Another agreed, writing: “Kate you should stay home and rest so you’ve got plenty of energy when it’s your turn to look after your husband.”
A third added: “Take your time Kate, you’ve been been through a hell of a lot of stress.”
Meanwhile, others said it would be “lovely” to see Kate back and praised her.
One commented: “Keep fighting Derek. It will be lovely to see her lovely smiling face.
“I have missed her I am sure they all will look after her, her work colleagues.”

Others branded Kate an “inspiration”.
Meanwhile, on Monday’s GMB (July 6), Kate’s colleague Piers Morgan said he thought it was “premature” for anyone to suggest that Derek was in any way “out of the woods” yet.
What did Piers say?
The presenter added: “We’ve got just a little clarification from Kate’s representatives saying: ‘These headlines have a level of optimism that may not be justified.
“‘We hope, as does Kate, that there will be more evidence of a recovery. But it will be a very slow and uncertain path.
“We’ll hear more from Kate when she joins us later in the week.
“We’re going to talk to Kate, I think, on Wednesday, before we go off for the summer and she’ll have something to say about this.
“I think it’s certainly premature at the moment to think that Derek is in any way out of the woods on this, sadly. He remains in a very serious and critical condition.”
