"It’s something you actually dread. It’s the first time I’ve been out with the kids leaving London.
"We were going to meet some friends in Kent. On the way back it suddenly exploded.
"I couldn’t control the car, weird steering, smoke and rubber everywhere. I managed to pull over but it just happened to be where there was no hard shoulder.
"I was nervous of people coming up the inside. I called the AA but that’s when you feel a bit panicked.

"We were rushing back because we were conscious of getting back to London to check on Derek and my parents were coming for a visit."
Kate was full of praise for the police who helped get her family off the motorway and safely home.

Kate also thanked the police on Instagram, writing: "Thanks to our amazing saviours Liz & Mark from @kentpoliceuk who rescued me after a full tyre blow out on the motorway!!!
"Never had one before - utterly terrifying. Managed to keep control of car but couldn’t get off motorway as no hard shoulder & when the AA said they couldn’t come for an hour, then rang after half an hour to say might still be an hour had no choice but to call the police.
