Earlier last week, ahead of her stint on the national broadcaster hosting the Rose of Tralee, Kathryn shared a terrifying update with her fans. The former Operation Transformation host had been enjoying a sun-soaked family trip in Greece over the past week - but disaster struck when it was time to pack up and go home. Kathryn and her husband Padraig McLaughlin had been staying on Andros island with their two daughters, Grace and Ellie. Advertisement TRAVEL TROUBLE Andros can only be reached by boat transport, and the closest airport is Athens, which is a 2-hour ferry. As the TV star and her family set off to get home to Ireland, they quickly realised the boat could not sail as winds on the sea were dangerous. The 45-year-old told fans on Instagram: "All ferries to Athens are cancelled due to unprecedented high winds and we've now missed our flight." The Carlow native expressed her panic as she added: "Nobody could tell us for certain when the ferries would run again... an absolute nightmare."
