Patrick’s relatives are still seething over her failure to attend his beloved mother’s funeral in March.Her spokesperson told Daily Mail at the time: ‘Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day.’

Now, ahead of her TV return a source said: ‘Cat feels anxious ahead of her frist day back after announcing the bombshell news of her split during her break’.’She has been hurt that people who don’t even know her have judged her for not going to her mother-in-law’s funeral in March. Even people from within Patrick’s family and inner circle who don’t know her well have criticised her for that,’

They told The Sun: ‘[and to] and make out that it was the reason for the split when that couldn’t be further from the truth. Cat is generally a really positive person but it hurts her to have people piling the blame onto her when this is a painful situation for them both.’

Daily mail have contacted Cat’s representatives for comment.
