Kate Langbroek defends her decision to use disabled parking spaces (despite the risk of a $165 fine) and insists a doctor told her it was allowed
Kate Langbroek has confessed to using disabled parking spaces while pregnant.
The 54-year-old radio presenter said on Monday’s season finale of Hughesy, We Have a Problem that a doctor had told her she was entitled to use the parking bays.
‘I’ve had four children. It’s a lot of work!’ she told the panel during the episode, which was filmed in December.

She said: ‘When I was heavily pregnant, I didn’t know this, at one stage, maybe baby number three or four, I could hardly walk… you’re allowed to park in a disabled park.’
Host Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes asked her: ‘Are you sure? I don’t like this…’
Kate replied with a smile: ‘But the doctor told me I could!’

Despite his misgivings, Dave admitted that ‘no man could ever have a crack at a pregnant woman who parks in a disabled spot’.

Kate is no stranger to breaking the rules, having received two parking tickets during a visit to Melbourne in May last year.
She and her husband, Peter Allen Lewis, relocated to Italy in January 2019 with their children, Lewis, Sunday, Artie and Jan, for what was supposed to be a ‘gap year’, but they have since extended their stay for another 12 months.
The family is currently in lockdown in Bologna amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has devastated Italy and claimed more than 24,000 lives.
