Derek has reportedly taken a “big step back” healthwise. This sad news has left Kate’s friends feeling “worried” for the star’s wellbeing.

“Sadly Derek’s condition means he’ll often go two steps forward but then take a big leap back. There’s no doubt about it, it’s really affecting Kate,” a source told OK! magazine.

“She looks tired and has lost a lot of weight because of it. Her friends are really worried about her wellbeing. It’s a tough time that keeps getting tougher. Things are really taking their toll,” they then added.

“Kate’s doing amazingly when it comes to her work and attending public appearances on her own. But when she goes home it’s a different story as Derek isn’t progressing at all. Plus, she’s got two kids to care for as well,” they then continued.
