Katherine Ryan pokes fun at the realities of pregnancy as she congratulates glam Sophie Habboo on her maternity wardrobe whilst 'I sweat and wish for ankles'
Katherine Ryan poked fun at herself as she congratulated Sophie Habbo on her pregnancy with husband Jamie Laing.
The Canadian comedian, 41, took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday with a hilarious expectations vs reality photo.
She shared a snap of Sophie, 30, looking glam at a wedding in a green dress that showed off her blossoming baby bump.
In complete contrast, Katherine shared a bare-faced snap of herself as she posed in her kitchen with her baby bump.
She penned on the post: '@Sophiehabboo congratulations on your impending arrival and I will cherish a summer of coveting your maternity style while I'm sweating under a hat wishing for ankles.'

Sophie reposted the snap to her Instagram Stories, writing: 'Hahaahah!!!'
Just last week, Katherine revealed she's expecting her fourth baby.
The beauty is expecting with her husband Bobby Kootstra with whom she has been in a civil partnership with since 2019.
Katherine is already mum to Fred, three daughter Fenna, two, with Bobby, as well as 15-year-old Violet from a previous relationship.
She has been open about her fertility struggles in recent years, revealing in 2024 that she had had three miscarriages in five years.
Speaking in November, Katherine admitted she would love to have more kids – but was worried about her age. 'I'm old. I used to think I was going to be the babies' dad because I'm working but actually I'm like their grandmother,' she quipped at the time. 'My back hurts, sometimes I give them treats. I'm like a fun grandma.'
The comedian also revealed in March 2025 that she was battling melanoma for the second time.
She made the revelation in her podcast, Telling Everybody Everything, explaining she paid to have mole removed from her arm and learned it was cancerous. She added that she required more surgery to ensure the entire mass has been removed.
The star is gearing up for another busy period of work, embarking on her Battleaxe comedy tour this month.
She also hosts multiple podcasts, including her most recent What's My Age Again? - a 'refreshing and humorous take on ageing, wellness, and self-discovery.'
The TV star revealed in 2022 that she had kept her second pregnancy a secret, because she was scared it would lead to her losing work.
She was eight months pregnant when she presented ITV's Ready To Mingle, a fact that she hid from everyone.
Katherine and her husband Bobby have been together since 2018, but have known each other since they were children as they grew up together in Canada .
Childhood sweethearts, the two parted ways initially before rekindling their romance this side of the Atlantic.
The couple revealed in the latest series of the family's reality show that they 'wanted the option of having a fourth [child].'
The series saw the couple exploring their marriage through therapy before visiting a fertility clinic.
Katherine admitted in the scenes which aired in February that she knew conceiving a fourth child would be challenging thanks to both her and Bobby's age.
'It's not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did,' said Katherine. 'But we talk a lot about male fertility as well, which is on a steep decline. But I would still like a fourth baby.
We are so blessed to have the kids that we do have. Having children is not for everyone, but I personally really like making people. I think it's a superpower, if you can do it.'
She explained at the time how she and her husband had never previously struggled with getting pregnant but had suffered multiple losses.
'We've always gotten pregnant with the babies quite quickly. I've been pregnant five times in five years, but that also means I've had three miscarriages in five years and the likelihood of that increases as you get older,' she explained.
'You have to find a balance between what you can personally stand and risks you're willing to take. I'm working a lot and I don't know if I could have a medical emergency like that while I'm in Lisbon on Thursday.'

Amazon Prime subscribers rage over ‘annoying' change affecting TV shows and say they will ‘definitely be cancelling'
PRIME viewers may start to notice more ads when watching their favourite shows and movies as Amazon ramps up changes. Adverts were first introduced onto the platform in January last year, with an option to pay extra if you want to avoid them. 2 They started at around two to three minutes per hour. But it appears to be have been quietly doubled. Sources told AdWeek that the number of ads has gradually increased to four to six minutes per hour. A spokesperson for Amazon responded to the publication, saying "Our commitment is to improving ad experiences rather than simply increasing the number of ads shown. "While demand continues to grow, our commitment is to improving ad experiences rather than simply increasing the number of ads shown." But users have already started raging about the quiet change and are threatening to cancel their subscription as a result. "My Prime account is up for renewal in August," one person wrote on Reddit. "I will definitely be cancelling. "Not only are the ads numerous, they are sometimes double in volume (loudness). I can't always hit the mute button fast enough." Another said: " It's always take take take. Take and squeeze as much as possible." A third added: "Canceled this c**p as soon as they announced ads in the first place. "People keep paying for these services that continue to get worse and more expensive. That's the real problem." 2 SWITCH TO FREE STREAMING By Jamie Harris, Assistant Technology and Science Editor If you're tired of paying out on several streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ then there are a growing number of free alternatives around. While many of these alternatives have been filled with obscure content, more big names like Sky have got on board in recent years offering some quality stuff, which is largely archive but still entertaining. As well as UKTV, Sony and 5 are among the other players getting involved. If you haven't already, give Pluto TV a go, it's available on pretty much all devices including Fire TV Sticks. On there you'll find channels from MTV, with Catfish and Geordie Shore. Some of the classics are real gems too - I found myself watching long-forgotten episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch the other day.

Katie Price reveals her ‘most painful' surgery EVER – just days before getting more filler in her bum
KATIE Price has revealed her 'most painful' surgery EVER - just days before getting more filler in her bum. Former glamour model Katie, 47, admitted a botched Brazilian butt lift left her in agony and swore off having surgery in the UK for good. 5 Speaking on Katherine Ryan: Telling Everybody Everything, Katie was asked whether there was a procedure she regretted. Without hesitation, she replied: 'The bum. I tried that BBL abroad where they take your own fat and put it in your bum. It was so painful. And it just did not look right on me.' When asked where she had it done, Katie revealed it was in Turkey – and despite the bad experience, she's still a big fan of going overseas for ops. She said: 'I would never have surgery in England again. Ever, ever. I'd always have it abroad.' Katie showed off her bum yesterday, admitting she'd had MORE filler added to it after sparking concern with her new look. The Page 3 legend has spent a HUGE amount of money over the years on cosmetic procedures - leaving some fans worried. In her Instagram video, Katie revealed that she was back at the clinic and was having another cosmetic procedure. She then shared that she'd had filler added to her bottom. Addressing fans, the TV star said: "So the bum is done! Here's a little sneaky, beaky, boopky!" - she then went on to show how round her behind looked now. Her latest "tweakment" comes after fans were "left concerned" when she showed off a "painfully" tight face this week. Many have begged her to stop getting work done. Katie has previously been warned she is "dicing with death" with her surgery habits. It came after she revealed her plans for a fourth BBL operation. Standing for Brazilian Butt Lift, the procedure entails injecting fat from other parts of the body into the bottom to give a more rounded or lifted look. According to Dr Gerard Lambe, one of the UK's leading plastic surgeons and head of Reflect Clinic UK, the star has major factors to consider. Dr Lambe told New Magazine: 'Katie needs to be aware that she is putting her health and body under extreme pressure with the now countless number of procedures she's had done in the last year alone. "BBL is one of the most dangerous surgeries anyone can undergo and it has the highest mortality rate – it's one of Katie's riskiest surgeries yet. "She is dicing with death." FACELIFT WOES Meanwhile, the TV star recently opted for tweakments abroad after being unhappy with her latest £10,000 facelift. Sources close to the star claimed she was less than impressed with her 'pixie ears' following the procedure. At the time, Closer Magazine reported: "Katie is heading to Turkey for her first New Year's procedure: fixing her pixie ears. 'She thinks they need correcting after her recent facelift. She's having her ears removed, then re-stitched in place and pinned back so that they don't stick out." Back in January, the mum-of-five took to Snapchat to share the gruesome photos, showing the sides of her face and cheeks all taped up. Katie confessed on Snapchat: "From my last surgery, there are just a few little bits that I want tweaking. 'Well, they need tweaking. So here I am getting ready. "That's the worst bit for me, the needle. "The needle's done so now I can relax."

So social media has broken even Elon Musk. I'm forced to ask: U OK hun?
Did you see Elon Musk apologise for some tweets this week? (Please don't be naff and call them 'X posts'.) Like me, you will be so embarrassed for Earth's primo edgelord that he feels pressed into doing something so excruciatingly conventional. This is worse than when Kate Moss was scapegoated into rehab. Imagine owning the world's premier shitposting platform – in fact, having spent $44bn (£32bn) on it, specifically so that your magic mirror would tell you each day that you were the fairest shitposter of all – and then shuffling sheepishly on to your own pixels to mumble something about having gone 'too far' with your hurty words. Buck up, sadsack – honestly. We'll come in a minute to how this hilariously preposterous spectacle should surely mark the absurdist endpoint of humankind's intensely brief, intensely passionate, and intensely destructive relationship with social media. But first, a recap. Elon's apology, of course, related to last week's spectacular online beef that he'd started with US president Donald Trump over the latter's OBBB. (Sounds like a specialist Pornhub search term; actually stands for One Big Beautiful Bill.) Amusingly, the two men were not able to directly confront each other, each feeling that they could only engage on their own platforms – X in Musk's case, Truth Social in Trump's. Going forward, we surely need some proxy platforms these two superpowers can fight on, like the proxy war countries of the cold war. Maybe Threads and Bluesky could play the role of Vietnam and Nicaragua? After all, I'm sure these two will do battle – covert or otherwise – once more. The path to war had been set the second they became buddies, despite the Maga crowd's comic refusal to see the inevitable. It was only a few months ago that Fox News bobblehead Sean Hannity did a fawning joint chat with the pair, telling them and his viewers: 'I feel like I'm interviewing two brothers here.' Yep. Caned and unstAbel. (Completely unrelated, but in 2019, polling found that 13% of Americans still believe that men are 'better suited emotionally for politics than most women'. Could the poll be rerun in light of new information?) And it was only a few months earlier that Musk was explaining to a rally crowd: 'I'm not just Maga, I'm dark gothic Maga.' Mm-hm. Anyway, in this battle, Elon ended up getting resoundingly beaten by the final boss of posting. As we know from the fact that Musk tuned up to his first day at Twitter carrying a sink and honking 'let that sink in', this is a guy who just loves a crashingly literal joke. So it's a shame the president was too busy playing golf to turn up at Elon's Texas babymother compound with some latex buttocks, an elated wink to camera, and the words: 'I handed him his ass!' Maybe next time. This week was all about the apology, which should be a defining moment in man's – and woman's – understanding of precisely the pitfalls of being extremely online. It's extraordinary to think that social media didn't meaningfully exist 20 years ago, but has – in that very short span – now hurtled toward the spectacle of the world's richest man functioning as a warning about what can happen to anyone if they spend way too much time on it. The man who literally owns X has been hoist by his own platform. Guys, no one is safe! How much more wake-up do we want our calls to be? For a long while back there, it was fashionable to refer to the particular disorder engendered by excessive Twitter use as brainworms. Elon Musk is surely riddled with them. Intriguingly, despite essentially running the free world from the platform during his first term in office, Trump himself has remained weirdly resistant to the brainworms. If anything, his particular arrangement reminds one of that old Private Eye headline when Rupert Murdoch had some prostate bother a few decades ago: 'Cancer has Murdoch'. And so with Trump and the brainworms. Brainworms have Trump. Maybe Trump IS the brainworms? Sadly for Musk, he didn't have the same mysteriously resistant gene. He loved Twitter so much he bought the company – for a price that was the sort of joke someone might make on Twitter – and it actually seemed to get him what he wanted for a time: a president who was buddies with him, a more-than-fair wind for all his government contracts, and every one of his posts liked by bazillions of followers who absolutely weren't mostly bots. It might have lost money in and of itself, but seemed like a super-successful and lucrative political project when considered in the round, given his other business interests. But this is what spending too much time on social media does to you! It makes you feel like you're being productive, and important, and 'not complicit' in whatever you've just farted out a couple of hundred characters on. But – and spoiler alert for anyone still unaware of the import of watching Musk deliver his equivalent of the Notes app apology meme – this is all an illusion. Spending lots of time and energy on social media platforms simply means you work for the guys who own them. For free. Whether this week's cautionary tale starring one of those very guys will shake humanity out of its potentially fatal attention spiral is, regrettably, doubtful in the extreme. But after watching Musk act like someone tearfully trying to de-cancel themself, no one can say the message of the spectacle was anything less than sledgehammer: delete your account, sir.
