Katherine Ryan pregnant with fourth child as she proudly showcases bump
Comedian Katherine Ryan is expecting her fourth child. The TV star, 41, is already a proud mum to teenage daughter Violet, 15, as well as son Fred, three and daughter Fenna, two, with husband Bobby Kootstra. Katherine first gave a hint that she was pregnant while making an appearance on her daughter Violet's TikTok page last week, while the teen was sharing her reviews on UK Crumbl. On Monday, the star stepped out at the Ageing and Biohacking: The Science of Immortality at SXSW in London, showcasing her blossoming baby bump. The star was glowing as she wore a figure-hugging dress, which highlighted her bump while posing on the red carpet. Katherine proudly posed for pictures before appearing on the stage as part of the talk. A spokesperson for Katherine confirmed the news when approached by the Mirror. The news comes just months after Katherine underwent surgery after being diagnosed with skin cancer. She first spotted the signs after noticing a mole was changing. Prior to this, she had previously been diagnosed with stage two melanoma at the age of 21. Despite doctors insisting that her mole wasn't cancerous, she demanded testing on it. She said on her podcast: "The mole kept changing, I know a lot about melanoma, I had stage two melanoma as a very young woman - aged 21 - on my leg, I've spoken about that before. But even when he looked at it, he was like, 'it's not melanoma, it's totally fine, I will do a shave and send it away for testing'." The comic went on to add that although her doctor assured her it was nothing to worry about, she felt differently. After the mole was removed, she asked them to take out a larger portion and close it up with a straight stitch. But even when he looked at it, he was like, 'it's not melanoma, it's totally fine, I will do a shave and send it away for testing.'" Soon after the doctor reassured Katherine once more that it was likely not melanoma, she was called back with the confirmation that it was cancerous. Earlier this year, Katherine opened up on her wishes for a fourth child as she admitted she didn't think time was on her side. The former Celebrity Gogglebox star visited a fertility clinic with husband Bobby and discussed the chances of them being able to conceive. In the second season of her hit U&W show, At Home With Katherine Ryan, she said: 'It's not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did. "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.' Things haven't always been easy for the couple as they have welcomed two babies, had three miscarriages and juggled Bobby's move to the UK from Canada. Katherine and Bobby first dated when she was 15, before rekindling their romance in 2018 when she returned to Canada to film a BBC show. Adjusting to co-parenting with Bobby has taken some time for Katherine, who had previously raised her daughter Violet alone after becoming a single mother at 25. However, she has been keen to add to their growing brood. Opening up on her concerns, she told OK! Magazine last year: "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. "My back hurts, sometimes I give them treats. I'm like a fun grandma." Speaking about their fertility, Katherine added: "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. "You have to find a balance between what you can personally stand and risks you're willing to take." Katherine has made it clear that surrogacy isn't for her. "It's controversial to say but I wouldn't want that labour – both literal and also the workload – to fall on another woman," she said. "I think surrogacy is wonderful. It's beautiful for people who are really eager to offer it and for couples who need it but for me, I think it would be exploitative.' Katherine also spoke about how having children with Bobby has been different to when she was a single parent. "Now Bobby has come into the picture, the babies are here and everyone is well supported because we're a family unit," she explained. 'I think arguably it's better for the children to have siblings and a dad at home, but Violet and I were really happy and I like to intensely love one thing or one person."

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash ‘risk reality show being AXED' as they're accused of breaking strict BBC rules
STACEY Solomon and Joe Swash have 'risked their reality show being axed' after being accused of breaking strict BBC rules. The star and husband Joe Swash, 43, have thrown open the doors to their home for the cameras, for a fly-on-the-wall look into their family life with their five kids. 5 Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have 'risked their reality show being axed' after being accused of breaking strict BBC rules Credit: PA 5 The family have thrown open their doors to the cameras Credit: PA 5 Stacey has namechecked her haircare brand and homeware range Credit: BBC But the fan-favourite pair risk the wrath of Corporation bosses, by plugging their products while on the show. In one scene, Stacey, 35, tells the cameras: 'I'm going to be trying on my last summer collection. I have brand partnerships and design different things for those brands. Anything from homeware to clothing lines.' And she also teased plans for her own perfume brand, telling viewers: 'I've wanted to do this for so long now. Creating a perfume. I would love to sort of create scents from Pickle Cottage that really make me happy.' Stacey has also namechecked her haircare brand and homeware range, and hubby Joe has cooking account and family coffee company. Another scene sees Stacey hosting an epic Halloween-themed party at Pickle Cottage, for her ASDA homeware collection, At Home With Stacey Solomon. She said: 'Everything that I create comes from here [home]... so it just felt right to do it here... I hope you love the collection.' And then in another clip, ex EastEnders actor Joe is seen sitting outside of Swash and Jones Coffee Co, a company his sister set up in 2021. Stacey manages to namecheck her haircare brand Rehab, and the fact that it's soon to be stocked in department store Harrods. She says: 'I honestly had no idea what I was doing when I invested in Rehab. I just knew I wanted to be a part of that company because I loved the girls and I loved the products.' Joe Swash shocks fans with secret side hustle in new reality show with Stacey Solomon But this all breaks editorial rules to plug commercial deals on air, as they clearly state: 'No on-air talent should promote products, goods, services or clothing they use on air.' The rules go on to say that this includes anything they have 'agreed, or been contracted, to promote or in which they have financial interest.' The Sun has contacted the BBC for comment. Back in 2021, BBC chiefs were on the verge of sacking DIY legend Nick Knowles in a row over an advert for a cereal. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. But after they made an 11th hour U-turn, Nick said: 'I have always said that DIY SOS is more than just a presenting job for me, it's part of me. 'It has my heart and working for the BBC for over 22 years is something I have never taken for granted. 'I will continue filming new episodes of DIY SOS over the coming months and will be back on your screens with the purple shirts next year.' He landed himself in hot water with executives by playing a builder in a commercial for Shreddies. The big money deal was at odds with Beeb rules, prompting a major dispute in which he was threatened with the axe if he did not pull out of the campaign. His future on DIY SOS looked bleak once cereal makers Nestlé refused to scrap the ads — which were already being aired and had been paid for. But BBC chiefs spared him after The Sun last week focused on his situation and highlighted his popularity with viewers and his charity work. Talks among the Beeb's most senior executives, including Director of Television Charlotte Moore, resulted in an agreement to ensure he remained. 5 Editorial rules state 'No on-air talent should promote products, goods, services or clothing they use on air" Credit: BBC

Katherine Ryan reveals the savage reason Stephen Hawking rejected her
In a room full of celebrities, Katherine Ryan only had eyes for one man: Professor Stephen Hawking. But it wasn't meant to be. The comedian confessed she 'tried it on' with the late theoretical physicist only to be rebuffed by his assistant, who claimed his 'tablet died'. Ouch. Katherine, 41, was at a lavish party thrown by long-time friend and collaborator Jimmy Carr, dubbing him 'the London Gatsby'. She recalled mingling with the likes of Kourtney Kardashian and Woody Harrelson at the glitzy bash, but it was Stephen she wanted to get to know. 'Well before Jimmy Carr's children were born, he used to have the most amazing parties,' she told Ashley Stobart and Lauren Adamson on their Nip Tuck Podcast. 'Like Brandon Flowers would be there,' she name-dropped. 'Woody Harrelson would be there, Professor Stephen Hawking, Monica Lewinsky. 'I met Kourtney Kardashian in Jimmy Carr's living room. He's like the London Gatsby. It was really fun.' Ashley questioned if Stephen had tried it on with Katherine but the comedian clarified she was the one who was pursuing the romance. 'I tried it on with him because I saw in the film about him that he's kind of a ladies man,' the Duchess star explained. 'But then, quite hurtfully, he just kind of went quiet, and then his assistant came up and said, 'Oh, I'm sorry the professor's tablet has run out of battery. He can't talk to you anymore'.' That could have been a reasonable explanation, but keen Katherine was not about to take the excuse at face value. 'I was mugged off and I know it,' she continued. 'He truly is a genius, but then I googled it and there's a backup battery for the tablet in the chairs 'So if the chair is moving, the battery is working.' Katherine has since entered a civil partnership with Bobby Kootstra, her childhood sweetheart, in 2019. They have a son called Fred, three, a daughter named Fenna, two, as well as 15-year-old daughter Violet from the comedian's previous relationship. Stephen, who died in 2018 aged 76, had three children — Lucy, Robert and Timothy Hawking — with ex-wife Jane Wilde. They married in 1965 but divorced 30 years later with Stephen then marrying his nurse, Elaine Mason but they split in 2006. Katherine has previously opened up on her hopes to expand her brood but admitted time is not on her side. More Trending In TV show At Home With Katherine Ryan, she said: 'It's not that surprising that over-40 women have fewer follicles than we once did.
