The Virgin Radio host and Martin are filming a new TV show together, documenting their journey from pregnancy to parenthood.
Kate has been very candid throughout her pregnancy and often updated fans on how she was feeling as her due date approached.
The former reality star has shared her worries that Martin may not be able to attend the birth of their child due to rising COVID-19 cases.
She explained that she has a ‘huge fear of childbirth’ and said she is ‘upset’ at the thought of welcoming her baby ‘without the person I love holding my hand’.
Kate continued, thinking of others who have endured the process alone: ‘So first of all, my heart goes out to any woman who’s had to give birth without their partner there.
‘As someone who has a huge fear of childbirth, the idea of giving birth to my baby alone without the person I love there holding my hand is just terrifying.’
