Kate apologised to her fans for not being more active on social media and revealed she was trying to focus all her energy on ‘getting Noa better’.

Just last month, Kate revealed she had rushed Noa to hospital on another occasion after discovering her finger had become infected and they were forced to stay in overnight but were discharged the next day.
She explained that she telephoned 111 after finding the baby’s fingertip ‘red, hot and swollen’.
‘I am in awe of this little lady’s strength and bravery,’ Kate said on Instagram at the time.
