During the emotional interview, Piers quickly pointed out that Susanna’s pal Judge Robert Rinder had been in touch to offer his support.
Kate said: Rob [Rinder] has been fantastic.
Piers wondered: “Whats in his food parcel?”
Kate replied: “I love Rob. He texted me saying ‘I live near to you, what can I do’?

“Darcy was making a photo wall at the time so I asked him for blue tack.
“I’ve had so many messages and lovely things. David Beckham sent video clips for the children on social media.
She added: “Elton John contacted me. He got in touch. He said he’s on board and know about virus prevention so he offered to help.

“I was so desperate at this point because It was hard to communicate with the hospital.”
“After I was like ‘It’s Elton John’.”
Kate also went on to reveal that Britain’s Got Talent star Amanda Holden had sent her message and quickly apologised as she was yet to reply to her text.
Kate also thanked her her GMB co-stars for their kind gifts for her children Darcy and Billy, including a Lego set from Susanna and a doughnut maker from weather presenter Laura Tobin.
