The move comes after the 54-year-old was made an MBE in the New Year Honours for her services to broadcasting, journalism and charity.
But while Kate's career goes from strength to strength, her husband Derek Draper continues to suffer with severe long-term effects after falling ill with Covid-19 in March 2020.
He still receives round-the-clock care at their home in North London, and spends much of his time on bedrest.
Earlier this month, she said Derek was "phenomenally fatigued and weak" after having a day out to see a pantomime with his family.
A source told new! magazine : “This is all of Kate’s dreams coming true, this is what she hoped would come from her doing I’m A Celebrity in 2019, but the pandemic happened and Derek then obviously got so ill.
“Winning the NTA, taking over from Piers on Life Stories, it’s the most bittersweet thing because Derek is still not well.
“She is so strong, having to juggle caring for Derek and work. It’s very difficult because the kids are still young and having to deal with their dad being how he is, it’s very tough.”
The source went on to hint Kate is under pressure as she balances work, parenting 15-year-old daughter Darcey and 12-year-old son Billy on top of caring for Derek.
They said: “Kate is the sole breadwinner for the house now, and that comes with pressures. But she can’t believe she’s in the position she’s in work-wise, it’s just so sad Derek’s not well enough to fully see it because he is her biggest supporter.”
