Taking to social media today (September 8), Kate urged fans to vote for the flick for the final time.
The ceremony takes place tomorrow night in London.
Kate penned: “I am so honoured that Finding Derek is among some incredible and extraordinary documentaries nominated for a National Television Award this Thursday.
It has been wonderful to be given the chance to give a voice to Derek
“It has been wonderful to be given the chance to give a voice to Derek and all those who can’t share the devastation Covid has inflicted on them.
“If you still wish to cast your vote then please find the voting link in my bio.”
In addition, the GMB host also gave a special mention to her fellow NTA nominees.

Kate shares her NTAs hope
Meanwhile, last month, Kate revealed she would love for Derek to attend the ceremony with her.
The former lobbyist is currently battling the long-term effects of coronavirus, after spending over a year in hospital.
Speaking about the nomination on GMB, Kate said: “I was just thinking, wouldn’t it be wonderful if Derek was well enough to come. Wouldn’t it be wonderful.
“I was trying to work out the dates and see the logistics of how that might work.”

However, Kate recently admitted that Derek still faces many challenges – including extreme fatigue.
The mum-of-two explained: “I know that he’s an extreme case because he’s got multiple organ challenges. Derek is sleeping 20 out of 24 hours a day.
“He has 10 minute windows! And it’s not like he’s feeling a bit tired, he goes white, pale and it’s like everything shuts down.”
