Kate previously shared a video from her street as her neighbours made their support for frontline workers known.
The former I’m A Celeb contestant penned: “Have taken so much comfort and inspiration from the spirit of the country beautifully personified by Captain Tom these past few weeks and with VE Day tomorrow it’s a reminder of the strength and resilience that we all have within us if we pull together and keep going.
“Derek is still with us, fighting so hard to beat this virus & everyday I am awestruck by how hard every member of the NHS team is fighting to turn things around and bring him (and so many others) home to their loved ones.
“You are amazing – thank you thank you. Sending love to you all in these terrible times.”

The daytime broadcaster has been calling husband Derek in intensive care every evening but she’s admitted that she has no idea” if he’s been responding.
Kate’s GMB co-star and close friend Ben Shephard recently gave viewers an insight into her heartache.
During a video-link interview with a school teacher who has beaten the deadly disease and the NHS nurses that saved her life, Ben said of Kate: “Staff are taking a phone in the evenings and she can talk to her husband.
“She has no idea if he is responding, but she hopes that he is. It’s a source of comfort.”
