She said: 'I think at the start, it was probably more irritating, especially for my family. But now those comments kind of just pass over me because we both know it's not true.
'Nick works hard, he has what he has. I work hard, I have what I have and then we buy each other stuff.'
Katie continued: 'We're both really comfortable with where we are with that and you will always get it because there's an age gap.
'I know plenty of people who are together and the same age where someone's using the other one for money and they're not happy.
'So as long as I know it's not true and he knows it's not true, I think that's, that's pretty much all that matters.'
Nick has an estimated £7.5 million net worth but Katie has built up an impressive lingerie brand, having launched Boa Boa in 2022.

It can cause pelvic pain, heavy periods, and difficulty getting pregnant.
Speaking about how she wants to represent real women Katie shared : 'I've got slightly better at trying to show slightly more real, as in I've put weight on recently so I know I can't just have the better picture of me where I haven't eaten at the start of the morning.
'I've got horrendous endometriosis, so I do bloat terribly but that's the company ethos that it's underwear that's made to fit you regardless of your size.'

Newlywed Dani Dyer reflects on THAT postcard meltdown which broke the then-record for highest number of complaints in Love Island history
Love Island series 12 is just around the corner, but on Sunday night, ITV2 pulled out all the stops with an anniversary special, celebrating 10 years of the show. Love Island: A Decade of Love featured chats and iconic moments from past winners and contestants, including newlywed, Dani Dyer. The reality star, 28, famously appeared on the show back in 2018 and went on to win with then-partner Jack Fincham, 32. But despite taking home the huge prize money, one of the moments Dani is most remembered for, is her reaction during season four's Casa Amor twist. The girls were given a video postcard showing what their partners were getting up to in the other villa, with Dani left inconsolable after she was shown a clip of Jack coming face to face with his ex-girlfriend Ellie Jones, implying there was something unsavoury afoot. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. As she watched the footage back, she was joined on the sofa by former contestant Samira Mighty, and reflected on her outburst saying: 'I went from zero to a thousand really quickly didn't I? 'I really really thought... I think it's cos his reaction was so like [gasps]'. Samira agreed saying the whole situation was 'crazy' before giving her friend a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. Despite the drama and upset, Jack had actually barely spoken to Ellie, remaining loyal to Dani throughout. However the way the clips were shown 2,525 viewers complained, with the then Love Island host, the late Caroline Flack justifying the producers' actions by saying the point of the show is to 'test relationships.' Although Ofcom didn't investigate they confirmed that it broke records at the time for the highest number of complaints about a single issue in Love Island history. Earlier this year, appearing on Jessie Ware's podcast, Table Manners, Dani's dad, actor Danny Dyer admitted he was enraged by the scenes. He said: 'They did a really mean thing on it as well, where they sort of made it look like he was cheating on her. I was fuming. I was like I want numbers, I want f**** numbers. The clip broke records at the time for the highest number of complaints about a single issue in Love Island history and despite the drama, Dani and Jack went on to win the show, but ended up going their separate ways nine months later 'They pretended he was sleeping outside on a bed, and she was crying her eyes out, and I knew this was gonna happen to me. How could you do it to this poor child?' 'So, yeah, really hard to watch, but she came out. She really just went with it. She got a clothing range. She's such a beautiful kid. I'm so proud. I'm proud of all my babies.' Elsewhere in Love Island: A Decade of Love, Dani revealed that her new husband Jarrod Bowen's mother, voted for her and her ex Jack to win Love Island back when they were on it in 2018. After tying the knot with footballer Jarrod on Saturday, Dani confessed that her in-laws were among the thousands of fans who voted for her to take the crown. The mum-of-three was among a slew of past Islanders watching back clips of their time on the show. Sitting with pal Samira, Dani revealed that her now mother-in-law had watched her series and been a fan even back then. She told a shocked Samira: 'You know Jarrod's mum voted for us to win? So my mother-in-law voted for me and Jack to win Love Island.' It comes after Dani shared the heartwarming moment she danced with her dad at her recent lavish wedding. The emotional father-of-the-bride moment saw proud Danny slow dance with his eldest daughter, after walking her down the aisle. In a behind-the-scenes wedding reel shared to Instagram, Danny looked like he could burst with pride as he embraced daughter Dani on the dance floor. The 50 guests watched on as the father and daughter duo slow-danced under a dazzling chandelier. Calling it 'the best day of my entire life,' Dani told fans it was a memory she'd cherish always, adding: 'A day that I will want to re-live forever.'

Former PM Liz Truss helps notorious bare-knuckle fighter launch his new whiskey in bizarre promo video - just months after he was freed from jail
Liz Truss joined a notorious bare-knuckle fighter as he launched his new whiskey brand in a bizarre promotional video. The former Prime Minister looked in great spirits as she waved a bottle of Dougie Joyce's booze towards the camera just months after he was freed from jail. After Joyce points to the lens and says, 'just remember Dougie Joyce loves ya', Ms Truss, who led the nation for 49 days in 2022, repeats his catchphrase, saying: 'Liz Truss loves you.' The ex Conservative leader offers an awkward laugh as the traveller boxer, who attacked a 78-year-old man in a bar in 2022, adds: 'Just remember that, people, we love you all.' Ms Truss, 49, could also be seen sitting down next to Joyce for a few drinks during the launch event, which took place at Scunthorpe United's stadium last month according to a post on the fighter's Instagram. A source told The Sun that the former PM had not been paid to attend the party. 'Liz Truss either doesn't understand the implications or doesn't care,' one source said. 'Either way this is a serious lapse. 'She's a former Prime Minister and has to be extremely careful who she associates herself with. 'You have to wonder if anyone did the due diligence.' Joyce, 36, said on Instagram: 'It was a great honour to have former Prime Minister as a special guest. 'Having her there truly meant a lot and added a distinguished touch to the occasion.' MailOnline has approached representatives of Ms Truss for comment. Joyce claims to have turned over a new leaf, insisting he is devoting himself to charity work, after being released from prison. The father-of-three, who once boasted he was 'the next Tyson Fury', was jailed for the second time in quick succession in May 2024 after finding himself involved in a violent brawl with a rival family at a wake. He and his brother Tom, then 27, were handed the sentences for violent disorder by Manchester Crown Court after a shocking incident unfolded in the Vine pub in Collyhurst, Manchester. Chaos erupted in the pub for about half-an-hour as members of the Joyce and Doherty family clashed in the latest episode of a long-running feud. The two families had attended the establishment as part of a wake following the death of two young men who were part of the traveller community on October 2, 2020. Two members of the Doherty family were taken to hospital with 'significant injuries', one of whom Tom had struck on the head with a smashed beer bottle. Prosecutors explained how trouble began at about 5pm, as footage from the pub showed signs of conflict and verbal rows before it turned violent about 20 minutes later, with two groups of about 10 young men forming distinct groups. At one point Tom grabbed a bottle of beer inside the pub and smashed it, before wielding it and striking a member of the Doherty family to the face with it in the pub car park, the court heard. The victim could be seen 'covered in copious amounts of blood', before Tom was then assaulted by others. Dougie also smashed a bottle in the build up, but did not use it and dropped it. Instead, he armed himself with a plastic pipe and threw it at another man, prosecutor Constance Halliwell said. The injured men were bundled into a car and taken to the Manchester Royal Infirmary. They refused to provide statements to police and were interviewed the following year, providing no comment to questions. Dougie was handed a 13-month jail term, while Tom was sentenced to 22 months in prison. The boxer, who turned down a role on reality TV show My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, was already serving a 19-month sentence for causing grievous bodily harm after launching a sickening attack on a 78-year-old man in a pub. A shocking video of the attack showed the traveller and businessman knock the recently widowed elderly man off his chair with three savage blows, before flooring him again after he got to his feet. The injuries to the man's face were exacerbated by the large golden pyramid ring he was wearing. During his time behind bars, the thug smuggled in a phone to film himself chuckling in his cell. Ms Truss's name came up in a somewhat negative context on Thursday as Keir Starmer compared Reform leader Nigel Farage's economic plans to her infamous 2022 mini-Budget. Mr Farage has sought to woo working class Labour voters by leaning left with support for scrapping the two-child benefit cap and fully reinstating winter fuel payments. But he simultaneously backs a series of tax cuts, which left experts at the Institute for Fiscal Studies saying there could be an £85billion hole in the maths. Sir Keir further questioned his ability, pointing out that Mr Farage, the Clacton MP, is currently in Las Vegas to speak at a conference promoting bitcoin. Speaking in Warrington Sir Keir said: 'Can you trust him? Can you trust him with your future? Can you trust him with your jobs? Can you trust him with your mortgages, your pensions, your bills? 'And he gave the answer on Tuesday. A resounding no.' He added: 'Apparently (Mr Farage) is in Las Vegas today at a casino, and it's not a surprise, because he said that the Liz Truss budget in his view was the best since 1986. That shows his judgment.' Over the weekend, Ms Truss appeared alongside Hungarian PM Viktor Orban at a press conference.

I can hardly believe this myself. After a lifetime of despising exercise and struggling with my weight, I've reached a place where I'm reaping the physical and emotional benefits of prioritising my body and health.
