presenter shared a heartbreaking confession about her late husband Derek Draper as she opened up to Bridget Jones star Renee Zellweger.

Kate and Renee sat down to discuss her new film, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, which focuses on Bridget’s love life following the tragic death of her husband Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth.

As Kate made the comparison about Bridget’s tragedy to her own, as her husband Derek Draper died last year, Renee was quite to comfort the presenter.

Kate said: “Since we last spoke, it has become very personal as I have lost my husband, become a single mum, raising two kids on my own, one of them called Billy. How is it for you, do you tap into a personal loss?”

Renee responded: “Well first of all, I’m sorry, that’s very fresh, it’s probably very raw for you still” to which Kate admitted: “Yeah, I think it is.”
