Britain presenter took to
Social Media to share her gratitude for the extraordinary service she received on the Emirates flight, despite international storms and delays, reports the Mirror. She wrote: "Just landed back home after an amazing week filming - meeting some truly inspirational people (can reveal all in September). Every flight that lands safely is a good flight by me! "But this was exceptional. Despite storms internationally and delays the staff were calm and kind and managed to look as fresh as these flowers - even on landing. I am more resembling pot pouri but feel great! ! ! Thanks @emirates . #itsthelittlebigthings #kind #gratitude #pureclass." Read More Related Articles Stacey Solomon shares genius

Coronavirus complications - has previously spoken about the financial strain she's faced. Kate confessed her ITV earnings don't stretch to cover the debts that she incurred from Derek's extensive care needs, candidly discussing her £800,000 debt situation. Derek died at the age of 56 earlier this year, having required continuous support from carers and therapists to help with his mobility and speech for over four years. Despite the complexity of his condition, Kate, also 56, received no Government aid. Her loyal followers leapt to her defence after she faced harsh criticism over a lavish plane journey.

Another chimed in with words of encouragement: "Glad to hear your feeling great Kate, good for you." A third sympathiser remarked: "Kate has just lost her husband, she's working to support her children. The flight was probably paid by the company she's working for. Why are people so nasty with their comments. If you're not happy don't read the posts. Sending love to you Kate x." The late Derek Draper suffered with health complications for almost four years Kate has previously answered to the harsh backlash she was targeted with on social media as she continues to speak up about her late husband's struggle. "I think people are a bit bored of me banging on about the same thing", she said on This Morning. "I understand that, really. I don't think I would have made a third one if it hadn’t been that Derek wanted to but I'm glad I did."

Because if I can’t afford it, and people can’t cope 24 hours a day on their own, you can’t look after someone 24 hours a day. Derek had huge medical needs but even he wasn’t considered medically serious enough to get that support, so what on earth is it like for someone who’s one down for that? I just fear for us all really." Get the latest celebrity gossip and telly news sent straight to your inbox. Sign up to our daily Showbiz newsletter here .
