Kate told Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley that Derek requested they film the third documentary as he 'wanted his voice to be heard', and he felt like a 'failure and a burden' on his loved ones due to the extent of is care. Kate said: 'It started filming for Derek wanting his voice to be heard. The way you show love he couldn't do.
